Graph the line with slope -3 and passing through (2, 2).

Question

Ok, we are given everything that we could possibly want for this problem!

Slope intercept form is,
$y=mx+b$
Where m is slope.
We can plug that in to the equation with what we know.

$y=-3x+b$

We are also given a point that it passes through, we would want to plug in those values into the equation.
$(x,y)\rightarrow(2,2)$

$(2)=-3(2)+b$
We want to solve that for b, which is our y-intercept.
$b=2+6=8$

So that means that we have the equation,

$\color{blue}{y=-3x+8}$

Do you think you could graph that line? :D
