Question

Write an equation for the line point slope form and slope intercept formSlope= -6Passing through -3,-7

Answer 1

For this question, we recall the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

and the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

Therefore for the given data, the point-slope form is:

$\begin{gathered} y-(-7)=-6(x-(-3)) \\ y+7=-6(x+3) \end{gathered}$

and the slope-intercept form is:

$\begin{gathered} y=-6x-18-7 \\ y=-6x-25 \end{gathered}$
