Question

Select the correct answer.

What is the equation of the line that has a slope of 3 and goes through the point (-3,-5)?
OA.
y=3x+4
OB. y=3x-14
OC. y=3x-4
OD. y=3x + 12

Answer 1

Answer:
`\Large\boxed{A.~y=3x+4}`

Explanation:

Given information

Slope = 3

Point = (-3, -5)

Given the format of the equation

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

• m = Slope
• b = y-intercept

Substitute values into the equation

y = (3)x + b

y = 3x + b

Substitute the given point into the equation to get the value of [ b ]

(-5) = 3(-3) + b

-5 = -9 + b

b = -5 + 9

b = 4

Therefore, the equation of the line is
`\Large\boxed{y=3x+4}`
