Question

write the equation of the line in slope intercept form. It has a slope of -7 and passes through the point (-3,16) I WILL MARK BRAINLOIEST

Answer 1

y = -7x - 5

Explanation:

The "slope-intercept form" is y = mx + b.

If the slope is m = -7 and one point on the line is (-3, 16), then the following adaption of y = mx + b must be true:

16 = -7(-3) + b, or

-5 = b

Then the desired equation in slope intercept form is

y = -7x - 5

Answer 2

y = -7x - 5

Explanation:

y = -7x + b

16 = -7(-3) + b

16 = 21 + b

-5 = b
