Question

What is the equation that passes through the given point and has the given slope (-2, -1); m= -3

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation would be y=-3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y = - 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 3, then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = 6 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 6 = - 7

y = - 3x - 7 ← equation of line
