Write the equation of the line that has a slope of -3 and passes through (2, -5)
show work if possible

Answer 1

y = -3x + 1

Explanation:

Plug in your x (2) and y (-5) values into your slope-intercept formula (y=mx+b).

-5 = -3(2) +b

Solve for b:

-5 = -3(2) + b

-5 = -6 + b

1 = b

Plug in the value of b, and the slope (-3) for the formula:

y = -3x + 1
