Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -2x-22.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the slope-interception common form is y=s*x+i, where 's' and 'i' are the slope and interception, unknown numbers;

2) if x₁= -3; y₁= -16, and s=-2, then the equation of the required line can be written in the point-interception form y-y₁=s(x-x₁); ⇔ y+16= -2(x+3);

3) the required equation in slope-interception form is:

y+16= -2x-6; ⇒ y= -2x-22.
