Question

A line passes through the point (-6,7) and has a slope of -2 write an equation in point slope form for this line

Answer 1

Explanation:

(-6,7) & m = -2

point slope form of line : y - y₁ = m (x-x₁)

y - 7 = (-2) (x - [-6] )

y - 7 = (-2) (x + 6)

y - 7 = -2x - 2 * 6

y - 7 = -2x - 12

2x + y = -12 +7

2x + y = -5 0r y = -2x - 5
