Identify Point-Slope Form: Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by the formula y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Substitute Slope and Point: Substitute the given slope and point into the point-slope form.We are given the slope m=21 and the point (2,−1). Substituting these values into the point-slope form, we get y−(−1)=(21)(x−2).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.Simplifying the left side of the equation by removing the parentheses around −1, we get y+1=(21)(x−2).
