Question

it has a slope of -7 and passes through the point (-3, 16)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -7x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, use the formula: y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

In this case, y₁ = 16, x₁=-3, and m=7.

Plugging in the values:

y - 16 = -7 (x - (-3))

Simplify.

y - 16 = -7x -21

y = -7x -21 +16

y = -7x - 5
