Question

Form.
6. Slope is -2, and (5, 3) is on the line.

Answer 1

Let m=-2, and let (x1,y1) be (5,3). So x1=5 and y1=3

Using the point-slope formula, we have

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Plugging the values in, we have

y-3=-2(x-5)

Using distributive property, we can say

y-3=-2x+10

Adding 3 to both sides we get

y=-2x+13

So the equation in slope-intercept form is

y=-2x+13.

Hope this helps!
