Answer:

The equation of the line that passes  through the point (2, -1) and has a slope of -3 will be:

  • y = -3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given

  • The point (2, -1)
  • Slope m = -3

substituting m = -3 and the point (2, -1) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

-1 = -3(2)+b

-1 = -6 + b

b = -1 + 6

b = 5

Thus, the y-intercept form of the line equation is b = 5

now substituting b = 5 and m = -3 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = -3x + 5

Thus, the equation of the line that passes  through the point (2, -1) and has a slope of -3 will be:

  • y = -3x + 5

Find the slop-intercept form of the line whose slope is 5 and that passes through the point (-6,7).
Korvikt [17]
You know that the slope, m=5. You have a point (6,7) as (x,y). The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. Plug in the number for x,y, and m, and then you would be able to find b using the slope-intercept form. Then rewrite the equation as y=5x+b, which you just found b.
(Here's the first step. 7=5(-6)+b). Find b, and then write the slope-intercept form as y=5x+b.
