Question

A line passes through the point (-6, 5) and has a slope of -3.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y

Step-by-step explanation:

y

=

4

x

−

26

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y

=

m

x

+

b

where:

m

is the slope of the line

b

is the y-intercept

We are given that

m

=

4

and the line passes through

(

7

,

2

)

.

∴

2

=

4

⋅

7

+

b

2

=

28

b

b

=

−

26

Therefore the equation of the line is:

y

=

4

x

−
