Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (−1, 6) and has a slope of −3.
y − 6 = −3x − 3
y − 6 = −3(x + 1)
y = −3x + 3
3x + y = 3

The equation of a line with slope \(m\) that goes through the point \((x_0,y_0)\) is given by: \[
y-y_0 = m (x-x_0)
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the line that passes through the point (−1, 6) and has a slope of −3.
\((x_0,y_0)=(-1,6)\) and \(m=3\)
OpenStudy (dmezzullo):
would it be possible to put it in understandable terms?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
mezzfezz, do you know what point-slope form is?
OpenStudy (dmezzullo):
Errrm

Replace \(m\) with \(3\) then replace \(x_0\) with \(-1\), etc...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Whoops, \(m\) is replaced with \(-3\)
OpenStudy (dmezzullo):
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
OpenStudy (aripotta):
so x1 and y1 will be replaced with the x and y of the given point (-1, 6)
OpenStudy (dmezzullo):
yes

OpenStudy (aripotta):
and m is the slope
OpenStudy (dmezzullo):
So B.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
so do you know what the answer is now
OpenStudy (dmezzullo):
BBBBBBBBBBBB
OpenStudy (dmezzullo):
RIGHT
