Question

Choose the equation that represents the line passing through the point (−2, −3) with a slope of −6.

y = −6x − 15
y = −6x − 20
y = −6x + 15
y = −6x + 20

Answer 1

Y = -6x - 15
We’re already at -3 (y) and the slope is negative so the y intercept is < -3. X is -2 and we need to find the y when x is 0. -2 is 2 away from 0 and 6 (the slope) times 2 is 12. -3 - 12 = - 15
