Question

The line that passes through the point (2, −8) and has a slope of −1 is given by the equation y +

Answer 1

y = -x+6

Explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

-8 = -1*2 +b

-8 = -2+b

-8+2 = -2+b+2

-6 =b

y = -x+6
