Question

If a line has a slope of -3 and goes through the point (-4, 10), then the equation for the line in slope-intercept form is ______________.
a.)

y = 3x - 26


b.)

y = 3x + 2


c.)

y = -3x - 2


d.)

y = -3x + 26

Answer 1

Answer:

c.) y = -3x - 2

Explanation:

Given following:

• slope (m): -3

• pass point: (-4, 10)

Equation:

$\sf y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

$\sf y - 10 = -3(x - (-4))$

$\sf y - 10 = -3(x + 4)$

$\sf y = -3x -12 + 10$

$\sf y = -3x -2$
