Question

A line passing through point (-6, 1) and has a slope of -3

Write an equation in Ax+By=C


Use integers A, B and C

Answer 1

y=-3x-17

Explanation:

y=mx+b (slope-intercept form) b=y-intercept= (0,?) m=slope

y=-3x+b substitute values

y+3x=b isolate b to find b

1+3(-6)=b substitute given ordered pair

-17=b

y=-3x-17
