Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (1,-3) and a slope of -2

Answer 1

Answer:y=-2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,-3) and a slope of -2

Use Formula

Y= mx +b to find b. By using the slope and point given .

M is slope

Y is -3

X Is 1

Y=mx+b

-3= -2(1)+b

-3= -2+b

-3+2=b

-1=b

Now create the equation by inputting the slope they gave you which is -2 and answer we solved for b which is -1 .

Y= -2x-1
