Identify Form: Identify the form of the equation.The equation y+14=−1211(x−13) is in the point-slope form, which is y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line.
Compare with Point-Slope: Compare the given equation with the point-slope form.By comparing y+14=−1211(x−13) with y−y1=m(x−x1), we can see that the slope m is the coefficient of (x−x1).
Identify Slope: Identify the slope.The slope of the line is the coefficient of the x term in the equation, which is −1211.
