Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,-1) and has a slope of -6

Answer 1

y = -6x + -1

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y= mx + b

m =slope b = y intercept

here m = -6

⇒ y= 6x + b ← is the partial equation

to find b substitute (-1,1) into the partial equation

y = -6x + -1
