Question

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

y - 2 = -3(x + 7)

y + 7 = -3(x - 2)

y + 2 = -3(x - 7)

y - 7 = -3(x + 2)

Answer 1

The point-slope equation of a line is:

\( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \)

where m = slope and the point is \( (x_1, y_1) \)

Answer 2

Place your given slope and point in the equation above and see which equation it is equal to.

Answer 3

So its b
