Question

Find the value of b if it is known that the graph of y=-3x+b goes through the point_
M(-2, 4)

Answer 1

Y=-3x-2
I did in paper and this is the answer

Answer 2

b = -2

Explanation:

y = mx + b; (-2, 4)

y = -3x + b (x₁, y₁)

m = -3

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 4 = -3(x -( -2))

y - 4 = -3(x + 2)

y - 4 = -3x - 6

+4 +4

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

y = -3x - 2

I hope this helps!
