Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,5) and has a slope of -2?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b     Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

y = - 2x + b      Input Slope

Step 3:

5 = - 2 ( - 3 ) + b     Input x and y

Step 4:

5 = 6 + b        Multiply

Step 5:

- 1 = b     Subtract 6 on both sides

Answer:

y = - 2x - 1
