Question

Write an equation of the line

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-6x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

We know a point (2,-4) and a slope -6.

We can subtsitute what we know into the equation above, to find what the y intercept is, since the line will pass through the point given.

-4=-6(2)+b

multiply

-4=-12+b

add 12 to both sides

8=b

the y intercept is (0,8)

Now we know what b is, so we know what the full equation is:

y=-6x+8

hope this helps!
