Point slope form of the equation can be written as follows
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y and x are the 2 variables , m is the slope and x₁ and y₁ are the respective coordinates for the given point
in this format a point of a line and the slope of the line are given. using this information we can write down the point - slope formula for the graph
since a point has been given we know the x₁ and y₁ coordinates.
These are the coordinates of the given point (-1,6)
x₁ = -1
y₁ = 6
slope has been given as -3, m = -3
substituting these values in the formula, 
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - 6 = -3 (x - (-1))
y - 6 = -3 (x + 1)
answer is B.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two point form of the equation:

(y-y_1)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\times (x-x_1)

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=Slope=m

(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)

A line passing through the point (-1,6) with slope ,m = -3.

The equation of the line will be:

y-6=(-3)(x-(-1))=(-3)(x+1)

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Answer: draw a dot at -7 on the x-axis and a dot at positive 7 on the y-axis. then draw your line through the dots and across the graph using a ruler or just try drawing a straight line.

Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and
Svetlanka [38]
(8,5)(-12,-9)
slope = (-9 - 5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 7/10
use either of ur points.....(8,5)....x = 8 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = 7/10(8) + b
5 = 56/10 + b
5 - 56/10 = b
50/10 - 56/10 = b
-3/5 = b

so ur equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5.....now we put it in standard form

y = 7/10x - 3/5...multiply by 10
10y = 7x - 6.....subtract 7x
-7x + 10y = -6....multiply by -1
7x - 10y = 6

So.....7x - 10y = 3.... IS NOT a good model. Because ur points are not a solution to ur equation.
