Question

Write an equation of the line with the given slope and containing the given point. Write the equation in the form y = mx + b.

Slope -4; through (-3, -6)
Group of answer choices

y = -4x - 18

y = -4x + 18

y + 6 = x + 3

Answer 1

y = -4x - 18

Explanation:

Slope: -4; (-3, -6)

(x₁, y₁)

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - (-6) = -4 (x - (-3)

y + 6 = -4 (x + 3)

y + 6 = -4x - 12

-6 -6

------------------------

y = -4x - 18
