Question

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

Answer 1

the standard form equation is
y=mx+b
m is the slope, and b is the y intercept (the y number at which x=0)

Answer 2

Use point-slope form first.

Answer 3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 4

You already have the slope, so the only thing you need to find is the y intercept

Answer 5

plug in your slope and plug in your point as (x1,y1) then just solve for y. :)

Answer 6

3x + y = -12?

Answer 7

solve for y

Answer 8

i don't need to though, that would be the answer. correct?

Answer 9

yes. :) I believe so.
