Question

Can I have some help with this? Construct a linear function that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (-2,3).

Answer 1

-3x-3

Explanation:

We want our equation to look like this

y=mx+b

we know that m= -3 so we just need to find b

We can start by plugging in the ordered coordinates into our equation

3=(-3)(-2)+b

Solve for b

3=6+b

b= -3

Which means our final equation is

y= -3x-3
