Question

What is the standard form equation of the line passing through (5, –3) with a slope of –3?

Answer 1

y=mx+b
5 is x
-3 is y
-3 is slope
Just plug everything into the equation:
-3=-3*5+b
And then, find b. Finally rewrite the whole equation.

Answer 2

Get it?

Answer 4

b= -18 ? .. . . . This Isnt Helpin Lol iNeed The Equation

Answer 5

Ya, so you basically have everything for the equation now.
Just rewrite the equation

Answer 6

Wait, b doesn't equal -18 though. How'd you solve it?

Answer 7

hi nitaleung is saying
y=mx+b
x=5
y=-3
slope m=-3
Just plug everything into the equation
y=mx+b
-3=-3*5+b solve for b
b=15-3=12 so put it together in the formula
y=mx+b
y=-3x+12 ans
