Question

A line has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (-1, -6). What is the equation of the line, written in point-slope form?

Answer 1

The answer is

`\huge y + 6 = - 2(x + 1) \\`

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula

`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)`

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question we have the final answer as

`y + 6 = - 2(x + 1)`

Hope this helps you
