Question

Please help!!!!! A line passes through the point (-4, -6) and has a slope of 3. Write an equation for this line.

Answer 1

y= 3 x +b
you need to find b

Answer 2

f(x)=3x + 6

Answer 3

this is what I came up with: is the be 2? @eliassaab

Answer 4

-6= 3(-4) + b
b=6
y = 3x +1

Answer 5

No, the 'b' is 6.

Answer 6

wait doesn't 3*-4=-12

Answer 7

@eliassaab

Answer 8

Yes, but you have to add -6 to both sides

Answer 9

where in the world do you have add six to both sides?

Answer 10

Then you have to subtract b to both sides which would get you -b, then you have to multiply each term by -1 to get rid of the negative sign on 'b'.

Answer 11

you would divide 6 to both sides not add

Answer 12

-6= 3(-4) + b
-6 = -12 + b
-6 + 6 = -12 + 6 + b
0 = -6 + b
-b = -6
Multiply each term by -1:
b = 6

Answer 13

No, you would add, you only divide when you have a variable being multiplied to a number.

Answer 14

y=3 x +6
It was a misprint in my previous post

Answer 15

-6= 3(-4) + b
b=6
y = 3x +6

Answer 16

thanks guys

Answer 17

No problem.
