Question

Write the linear equation from the given information in slope intercept form (-1,3); slope=-3​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard expression of equation of a  line in slope-intercept form is expressed as;

y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Given

slope m = -3

Point (x, y) = (-1, 3)

x = -1 and y = 3

Get the intercept

To get the intercept c, we will substitute the given values into the equation above to have;

y = mx+c

3 = -3(-1)+c

3 = 3 + c

c = 3-3

c = 0

Substitute m = -3 and c = 0 into the equation above;

y = mx+c

y = -3x+0

y = -3x

Hence the required linear equation is y = -3x
