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

y = -2x - 8

Explanation:

m = -2

Point = (-1 , -6)

Line of the equation: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - [-6] = -2 *(x - [-1] )

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

y + 6 = -2x - 2

y = -2x - 2 - 6

y = -2x - 8
