Question

What is the equation of the following are you sure to scroll down first to see all answer options

Answer 1

Y=-3x+0 or Y=-3x

Explanation:

Y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept (where the line crosses the y axis)

The line crosses the Y axis at (0,0), so:

Y=mx+0 or

Y=mx

Slope:

Rise/run= Change in y/Change is x= 9/-3=-3

So:

Y=-3x+0 or

Y=-3x

Answer 2

Answer: 3x + y = 0

Step-by-step explanation: Remember that slope is represented by

rise over run from one point to the next on our graph.

To get from the point (0, 0) to (3, -9), we go down -9 units

so our rise is -9 and we run 3 units so our run is 3.

Our slope therefore or m = -9/3 or -3.

Our y-intercept is represented by the point where this line

crosses the y-axis which in this case is up 0 units.

So our y-intercept or b = 0.

Since we have the slope and y-intercept of our line,

we can now write its equation in y = mx + b form.

Since m = -3 and b = 0, that gives us y =-3x + 0.

Now we convert this equation to standard form.

Just add 3x to both sides to get 3x + y = 0.

So the equation of this lie is 3x + y = 0.
