Question

Write the equation of a line given the slope is -2 and it goes through the point (4, -3).

Answer 1

Explanation:

y= -2x+5

From the point (4,-3) , ince the slope is -2, you start counting 2 up 1 left 2up 1 left.....( or 2down,1 right,2 down 1 right......) But you choose the first to know when you are going to cross the y line

When you reaches the y coordinate you are at 5

So the line intercepts at positive 5
