Question

Which of the following is an equation of the line that has a slope of - 3 and passes through the point (-6, 2)? ​

Answer 1

y = -3x - 16

Explanation:

m = -3 ; (-6 , 2)

Slope point form : y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 2 = -3(x - [-6])

y - 2 = -3(x + 6)

y -2 = -3x + 6*(-3)

y - 2 = -3x - 18

y = -3x - 18 + 2

y = -3x - 16
