Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-2, -3) with a slope of -6.

Answer 1

put it in y=mx+b form m=slope and b=the y intercept

Answer 2

So what I normally do is draw out a graph of the line....

Answer 3

basically what is meaning of slope in literaly

Answer 4

but it says this y + 3 = -6(x + 2)

y + 2 = 6(x + 3)

y - 3 = -6(x - 2)

y - 2 = 6(x - 3)

Answer 5

oohhh

Answer 6

well first narrow down your answers that you know for sure are wrong

Answer 7

exactly i dnt no which answer it is

Answer 8

okay well hang on a second let me figure it out first then ill explain to you how to get the right aanswer... just a minute

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

okay so first, what I did was find the y=mx+b form of it from the info given, so do that and see if you get the same answer...

Answer 11

ok i got that

Answer 12

Did you get y=-6-15

Answer 13

*-6x

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

so now we have to take the possible answers and test to see which one is the correct equation... since the slope has to be -6 we can cancel out the 2nd and 4th answer

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

next we test both the equations by either simplifying them or testing points on the graph....
