Question

Which of the following equations represent a line that has a slope of –5 and that passes through (2, –6)? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer 1

y = -5x − 27

Explanation:

y = mx + b

y = 5x + b

Plug in the point's x & y values and solve for the y -intercept

(0, b)

− 2 = 5 (5) +b

− 2 = 25 + b

− 2 − 25 = b

−27 = b

Line equation:

y = 5x − 27

Answer 2

y + 6 = –5(x – 2) and y = –5x + 4
