Question

What would be the point-slope equation of a line that passes through the point (-3,-5) and has a slope of -2?

Answer 1

Answer: y=-2x-11

Step-by-step explanation: y-y1=m(x-x1). Subsitute in the Variables

y-(-5)=(-2)(x-(-3)) Distribute and remove parentheses

y+5=-2x-6. Subtract 5 from both sides

y=-2x-11 Answer in Slope-Intercept Form
