Question

Use slope-intercept form to write the equation of a linethat has a slope of -3 and passes through the point(1, -5).Use the drop-down menus to select the proper valuefor each variable that is substituted into the slope-intercept equation.X222IntroDone

Answer 1

,We have the next information

slope=-3

point=(1,-5)=

First, we will use the point-slope form

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point where the line passes through

(x1,y1)=(1, -5)

m=-3

we substitute the values

`y+5=-3(x-1)`

then in order to obtain the slope-intercept form we isolate the y

`y=-3x+3-5`

the slope-intercept form is

`y=-3x-2`

the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=-3x-2
