Question

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of -3 and goes through the point (5,7).

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line would be D) y - 7 = -3(x -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we must first start with the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now we put the slope in for m and the point in for (x1, y1)

y - 7 = -3(x - 5)
