Question

*Write the slope-intercept equation of the function f whose graph satisfies the given conditions.

The graph of f passes through (-12,7) and is perpendicular to the line that has an x-intercept of 1 and a y-intercept of -3.

What is the equation of the function ?

Answer 1

Answer: Slope-intercept form : y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Passes through (-12, 7)

Slope = -5/3

m = slope

Simply plug everything in :)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 7 = -5/3(x + 12)

Simplify.

y - 7 = -5/3x - 20

Add 7 to both sides.

y = -5/3x = -13
