Question

Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the following point with the given slope.Simplify your answer.Point (-2, 11); Slope = -3

Answer 1

Point: (-2, 11)

m = -3

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

We need to find b, so:

11 = -3(-2) + b

11 = 6 + b

b = 5

Then the equation can be written as follows:

y = -3x + 5
