Question

Find an equation in slope intercept form of the line that has slope -7 and passes through point (-7,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -7x -51

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

P1 ( X1 , Y1) : ( -7 , -2 )

m= -7

For equation of line ,  

y = mx + b

substituting  P1 in equation of line,

-2 = (-7) (-7) + b

-2 = 49 + b

-2 -49 = b

b = -51

hence equation of line is ,

y = -7x -51   answer
