Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-2, -3) with a slope of -6.
y = -6x - 15
y = -6x - 20
y = -6x + 15
y = -6x + 20

yup :P
OpenStudy (compassionate):
Well, what seems to be the issue?
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
i dont know what to do here ^^^

No problem.
If I gave you the points (2, 3) could you graph it?
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
yes :)
OpenStudy (compassionate):
Okay, good. Are you aware what slope is?
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
yes :)
OpenStudy (compassionate):
Okay good. You know all that you need to do in order too solve this problem. All you have to do is apply it in a slightly different way.

Are you aware how to use y=mx+b?
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
no ;?
OpenStudy (compassionate):
Okay, well y=mx+b is basically a quick way to find the equation when given x, y, and the slope.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
y = mx+b
y = -6x+b ... Plug in the given slope
-3 = -6(-2)+b ... Plug in the given point
Now solve for b
