Question

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

3x + y = 12

3x + y = –12

3x – y = 12

3x – y = –12

Answer 1

Equation is given by:

\[\huge y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]

Answer 2

m = -3 and x1 = 5 and y1 = -3,

\[y + 3 = -3(x - 5)\]
\[y = -3x + 12\]

\[3x + y = 12\]
