Question

Write the equation for the line that goes through point (12, 15) with slope = −2.

Enter your answer in slope-intercept form.
Complete the equation below
y = _______________
Use x as your variable.
Enter any non-integer values as fractions.

Answer 1

y=-2x+39 is what i got

Answer 2

y= -2x +39

Explanation:

y= mx+b

m is the slope which is given -2

since we don't know b we can solve the rest using the formula y-y1{ m(x-X1(

y - 15 = -2(x-12)

simplify

y-15= -2x +24

y= -2x + 39
