Question

Given the slope and one point on the line:

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

standard form for lines is y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we already know that m is -2, so we just need to figure out the intercept.

the point given is (7,-3)

points are written as (x,y) so we can plug it into the equation with 7 for the x and -3 for y

-3 = -2 (7) + b

-3 = -14 + b

11 = b

so the equation is y=-2x+11
