Question

Write an equation for the line that has slope -2 and passes through the point (3, - 4). SHOW YOUR WORK

Answer 1

2x+y-2=0

Explanation:

Solution

Here,

Passing point P(x,y)= (3,-4)

Slope(m)= -2

Now Equation of the line

(y - y1)=m(x - x1)

(y+4) =-2(x-3)

y+4 = -2x+6

2x + y =2

2x +y -2 =0 which is the required equation of the line
