Question

Identify the equation that describes the line in slope-intercept form.

slope = -2, point (-4,3) is on the line

Answer 1

y=-2x-5

Explanation:

slope (m)= -2, point (-4,3) put in y=mx+B

3 (y)= -2 [m](-4) + B

3=-2 (-4)+B. - multiple -2 and -4

3= 8 +B. - two negatives. multipled gives you a positive

3=8+B. - subtract 8

-8 -8

-5=b

y= -2x-5
