Question

The slope of the line below is -3 which is the following is the point - slope from the line ?

Answer 1

Answer:

D.  y + 6 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation in point-slope form, you need to use the slope and a point from that line.  The slope is -3 and the point given is (2, -6).

Point-slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).  Plug in the slope and point.

y - (-6) = -3(x - 2)

y + 6 = -3(x - 2)

Answer 2

Answer:

D. $y - 2 = -3(x+6 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Well point slope form is,

$y - y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )$

So we already have slope meaning we can plug that in for m.

$y - y_{1} = -3(x-x_{1} )$

And with the given point (2,-6),

we can create point slope form.

$y - 2 = -3(x+6 )$

Therefore,

the answer is d. $y - 2 = -3(x+6 )$.

Hope this helps :)
