Question

What is the Equation of a line that has a slope
of -3 passes to the point (4,-5)

Answer 1

y = - 3x + 7

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 3 , thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 12 = 7

y = - 3x + 7 ← equation of line

Answer 2

y= -3x + 7:)
