Question

A line passes through (-3, 6) and has a slope of -5. What is the equation of the line?

Answer 1

Answer: y=-5x+27

Explanation:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

m= slope, which is given as -5

b is y-intercept

y=-5x+b

sub-values from (-3,6) into the equation

-3=-5(6)+b

-3=-30+b

b=27

y=-5x+27
