Question

Which equation represents a line that passes through (-9,-3) and has a slope of -6?

Answer 1

Answer: y=-6x-57

Step-by-step explanation: the normal format of a linear equation is

y=(slope)x+y intercept. The slope is -6 so y=-6x+y intercept. Plugging in the cordinates, -3=-9(-6)+y intercept. We'll call the y intercept b. -3=54+b. Subtract 54 from both sides of the equation and you get b=-54. The linear equation is

y=-6x-57.

You can check by plugging in x= -9, and y= -3. -3=54-57. -3=-3
