Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-2, -3) with a slope of -6. y = -6x - 15 y = -6x - 20 y = -6x + 15 y = -6x + 20

The equation we'll be using here is: \[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]Where m is the slope of the line, and x_1,y_1 are the coordinates of any point on the line. We have the slope and a point on the line, so you can plug in and solve.

M is the slope of the line, which in this example is -6. We have the point -2,-3 so x_1=-2 and y_1=-3. Plug in these values and simplify
