Question

Write an equation with slope of -2 and goes through the point (-3,7)

Answer 1

y = -2x + 1

Explanation:

Substitute the slope and the given point into y = mx + b and solve for "b".

y = mx + b

7 = -2(-3) + b

7 = 6 + b

1 = b the y-intercept is 1

The equation of the line is y = -2x + 1
