Question

Find an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope -7 and passes through point A(-7, -2)

A. y = 7x - 51 B. y = -7x - 51 C. y = -7x + 51 D. y = 51x - 7

Answer 1

slope(m)=change in y/change in x

-7=y-(-2)/x-(-7)

-7=y+2/x+7

-7(x+7)=y+2

-7x-49=y+2

-7x-49-2=y

-7x-51=y (B)
