Question

Graphing Worksheet Homework: Determine the equation of the line that has slope -6 and goes through the point (-1,6).

Answer 1

m= (-12)

Explanation:

6 = m(-1) + (-6) is the equation then answer.

6 = m(-1) + (-6)

+6. +6 add 6 to cancel out b

12 = m(-1)

-1 (-1) Divide to simplify m

-12=m

Answer 2

Solution :
y - 6 = -6 (x + 1)
y - 6 = -6x - 6
y = -6x - 6 + 6
y = -6x - 0
-6x - y - 0 = 0
y = -6x
