Question

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point, (-2,12)?

A. y = -2x + 4
B. y = -2x + 6
C. y = -2x + 8
D. y = 4x - 2

Answer 1

c. y=-2x+8

Explanation:

slope(m)=-2

points(x,y)=(-2,12)

the equation of given line is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-12=-2(x+2)

y=-2x-2+12

y=-2x+8

is the required equation.
