Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -5) with a slope of -3.

Answer 1

Use point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1) just plug in your point (x1,y1) and the slope m and then simplify

Answer 2

y = mx + b
-5 = -3(2) + b
-5 = -6 + b
6 - 5 = b
1 = b

y =-3x + 1
