Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -5) with a slope of -3.

y = -3x - 13

y = -3x + 11

y = -3x + 13

y = -3x + 1

Answer 1

You are given a pair of coordinates and its slope, you need to find the y-intercept, which is the variable of b in the slope-intercept equation : y = mx + b
Plug in your x,y , and slope values and solve for b.
