Question

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

Answer 1

when given a set of options, we can easily determine a correct answer by plugging in the point values and see which one fits

Answer 2

a point is defined as (x,y); in this case that gives us an x value of 2, and a y value of -5

plug in x=2 into the options to see what produces a -5

Answer 3

y = -3x + 11

Answer 6

did i do it

Answer 7

y=mx+b

y=(-3) · x+b

y=(-3) · (2)+b

(-5)=(-3) · (2)+b

(-3) · (2)+b=-5

(-3)(2)+b=-5

(-6)+b=-5

b=1

y=-3x+1

Answer 8

thank you

Answer 9

np

Answer 10

if y = -3x + 11 is correct, then when x=2, y=-5

y = -3(2) + 11

y = -6 + 11

y = 5


since y=5 is not the same as y=-5, this cannot be a correct option
