Question

Write an equation in Standard Form that passes through the point (-8, 7) and has a slope of -3.

Answer 1

3x+y=-17

Explanation:

Standard form is written as: Ax+By=C where the slope is always -A/B

-A/B = -3/1

A= 3 and B=1

3x+y=C

Plug in point to solve for C

3(-8)+7=C

-24+7=C

-17=C

3x+y=-17
