Question

15. Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (7, –2) and has a slope of –3. (3 points)

Answer 1

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Answer 2

m=3, y1 = -2, x1 = 7. Put it in the equation: y - y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 3

sorry m = -3

Answer 4

DO you need anymore help?

Answer 5

Little bit

Answer 6

The (y-v1)=m(x-x1) thing the people have been talking about is an equation of a line called point slope form where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line. Therefore with the given information, you can create an equation for the line using the point-slope form

Answer 7

Try putting you point and slope into the equation and I will check

Answer 8

Y- 2 = -3(x+7).

Answer 9

Almost. Remember, it is (y-y1) and (x-x1) a minus sign. it would be (y+2)=-3(x-7)

Answer 10

Oh thanks so much. Live saver.

Answer 11

If you want to put it into a more familiar form, you can distribute to get
y+2=-3x+21
y=-3x+19
and you're welcome

Answer 12

See ya.
