Question

Select 2 statements that are true about the equation y+6=-10(x-3).

1) The slope of the line is -10
2) The slope of the line is 3
3) One point on the line is (3,6)
4) One point on the line is (3,-6)

Answer 1

(1) and (4)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y + 6 = - 10(x - 3) is in this form

with slope m = - 10 → (1)

(a, b) = (3, - 6) → (4)
