Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1, -4) with a slope of .

Question

lgbasallote · Answer

slope of what?

anonymous · Answer

with a slope of -3

lgbasallote · Answer

use the formula $$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$$
where m = slope
y1 = y coordinate
x1 = x coordinate

does that help?

anonymous · Answer

y1+4 = -3(x1-1)

anonymous · Answer

the choices are  y = -3x - 13

 y = -3x + 11

 y = -3x + 13

 y = -3x + 1


and i think its c? am i right?

lgbasallote · Answer

hmm did you write the question right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

lgbasallote · Answer

hmm weird...none of the choices you gave is the answer to the question you gave

anonymous · Answer

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -5) with a slope of -3.

 y = -3x - 13

 y = -3x + 11

 y = -3x + 13

 y = -3x + 1

lgbasallote · Answer

lol..you gave the wrong question

lgbasallote · Answer

C is not correct sorry

anonymous · Answer

It would y=-3x-1

lgbasallote · Answer

using the formula i gave this will give you $$y + 5 = -3(x-2)$$
distribute 
$$\implies y + 5=  - 3x + 6$$
subtract 5 from both sides
$$\implies y = -3x + 6 - 5$$
combine
$$\implies y = -3x + 1$$
got it @danireynoso ?
