Question

Choose the equation that represents the line passing through the point (2, - 5) with a slope of −3.A y = −3x − 13 ,B y = −3x + 11 ,C y = −3x + 13, D y = −3x + 1

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 6 = 1

y = - 3x + 1 → D
