Question

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (6, 2) and having slope − 3.

Answer in Brief

Solution

Here,

\[m = - 3, x_1 = 6 \text { and } y_1 = 2\]

Substituting these values in \[y - y_1 = m\left( x - x_1 \right)\] ,  we get,

\[y - 2 = - 3\left( x - 6 \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow y - 2 = - 3x + 18\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3x + y - 20 = 0\]

Hence, the equation of the required line is \[3x + y - 20 = 0\]
