Answer:

y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Plug the slope (m) into the equation</u>

We're given that the slope is -3. Plug -3 into the equation

y=-3x+b

<u>2) Solve for the y-intercept (b)</u>

To solve for b, plug the given point (-1,-5) into the equation as (x,y).

-5=-3(-1)+b\\-5=3+b

Subtract 3 from both sides

-5-3=3+b-3\\-8=b

Therefore, the y-intercept is -8. Plug -8 back into our original equation as b

y=-3x-8

I hope this helps!

Naddik [55]

Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2n - 8 = -2 (-3n + 12) + 8

2n - 8 = -(-6n + 24) + 8

2n - 8 = 6n - 24 + 8

2n - 8 = 6n - 16

-4n = -8

Divide each side by 4

n = 2
