Question

write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope slope is -3 (-5, 4)

Answer 1

point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = -3(x--5)

y-4 =-3(x+5)

to change to slope intercept form

dstribute

y-4 = -3x-15

add 4 to each side

y = -3x-15+4

y = -3x-11
