Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5, -3) and has a
slope of -12

Answer 1

y=-12x-63.

Explanation:

slop-interception form is y=s*x+i, where s - slop, i - interception.

1) according to the s= -12 it is possible to make up: y= -12x+i;

2) if to substitute the poing (-5;-3) into the equation y=-12x+i, it is possible to calculate the value of 'i':

-3= - 12*(-5)+i; ⇒ i= -63;

3) finally, the required equation is:

y= -12x-63.
