Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-2, -3) with a slope of -6. (1 point)

Оy+ 3 = -6(х + 2)
Оy+ 2 = 6(х + 3)
Оy - 3= -6(х - 2)
Оy - 2 = 6(х - 3)

Answer 1

y + 3 = -6(x+2) (( y = -6x - 15 ))

Explanation:

The main way to start doing this is to either graph each one or make every equation solving for y; as in slope-intercept form (y = mx +b).

This will turn each possible answer into

a. y = -6x - 15

b. y = 6x + 16

c. y= -6x + 15

d. y= 6x - 16

If we graph each one on a graph then find the point (-2, -3) to see if it is on the line; the equation that has (-2, -3) on the line is the answer.

In this case the answer is a. y = -6x - 15
