Question

choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (−2, −3) with a slope of −6. y = −6x − 15 y = −6x − 20 y = −6x 15 y = −6x 20

Answer 1

y=-6x-15

Explanation:

Using the point-slope formula:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - (-3) = (-6) (x - (-2))

y + 3 = -6x - 12

y = -6x - 12 - 3

y = -6x - 15

Answer 2

We can solve this in a number of ways: using the point-slope formula, using trial and error or by inspection.

Using the point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - (-3) = (-6) (x - (-2))
y + 3 = -6x - 12
y = -6x - 12 - 3
y = -6x - 15

Therefore, the answer is the first option.
