Question

3. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes

through the point (4, -1) and has a slope of 2.
A. y = 2x - 7
B. y = 2x - 9
C. y = 2x + 7
D. y = 2x + 9

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Y = 2x - 7.

Answer 2

B. y = 2x - 9

Explanation:

All of the answer choices has a slope of 2, but B is the only answer choice that has (4,-1) on its line.

You can tell by plugging the point into the equation and seeing if the result is true.

y = 2x - 9

-1 = 2(4) - 9

-1 = 8 - 9

-1 = -1
