Question

Which linear function represents the line given by the point-slope equation y + 1 = –3(x – 5)?

Answer 1

y=-3x+14..................................

Answer 2

y +3 x = 14

Explanation:

given equation,

y + 1 = –3(x – 5)

y + 1 = -3 x + 15

y = -3 x +14 ........................(1)

comparing equation (1) with

y = m x + c

where m = -3 which is slope of the line

c = 14 which is intercept on the y axis

y +3 x = 14

hence, the linear function represented will be y +3 x = 14
