Question

Find the equation of the line whose slope is -3 and which passed through the point (-5,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Y= -3-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the coordinates. 3= -3(-5) +b. Solve.

Answer 2

Answer:

$y-3=-3(x+5)$ or $y=-3x-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is enough info to make a point slope equation.

Formula: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Plug in the formula:

$m = -3\\(x_1,y_1) = (-5, 3)$

$y-3=-3(x+5)$

Convert into Slope Intercept Form: $y=mx+b$
