Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the process of elimination, we can immediately eliminate b) (y = 2x - 3).

Why? It has a slope of 2, and our answer wants a line with a slope of -1.

y = mx + b

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept.

To find the line that goes through (2, -3), we substitute our 3 answer choices (A, C, and D) with 2 (for x-values) and -3 (for y-values).

(2, -3)

y = -x - 1

-3 = -2 - 1

-3 = -3

This statement is true

(2, -3)

y = -x - 3

-3 = -2 - 3

-3 = -5

This statement is false

(2, -3)

y = -x + 2

-3 = -2 + 2

-3 = 0

This statement is false

Therefore, the correct answer is a) y = -x - 1

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

soo since we already know the slope we can subsitute it to the slope form equation

y = mx + b

y = -x + b

now to find the y intercept we have to subsitute the given point

-3 = -(2) + b

-3 = -2 + b

b = -1
