Question

Choose the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (-1,6) and has a slope of -3

Answer 1

y = -3x + 3

Explanation:

Plug the y and x values from the point (-1, 6) along with the slope of -3 into the slope intercept formula: y = mx + b to get 6 = (-3)(-1) + b

Solve for b: 6 = 3 + b

3 = b

Now put the slope and the y intercept that you just found (b) into the equation to get the final answer.
