Question

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

y + 3 = -6(x + 2)

y + 2 = 6(x + 3)

y - 3 = -6(x - 2)

y - 2 = 6(x - 3)

Answer 2

help someone

Answer 3

Slope is -6. That quickly eliminates 2 and 4 because the slope is +6.
Try x = -2 and y = -3 in 1 and 3 and see which one is true.

Answer 4

i need it by 9:50 just tell me for a medal cuz i have more to go

Answer 5

Sorry. I am not allowed to give out answers but only help students learn.

Answer 6

ok well what should I do first?

Answer 7

Try the first.

Answer 8

y = -6(x + 2) - 3
y = -6x -12 - 3
y = -6x -15

Answer 9

I will tell you another method which might be faster.
A line passing through (x1, y1) with a slope m has the equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Here the point is (-2, -3). So x1 = -2, y1 = -3 and slope m = 6
Just plug in the numbers into (1). No need to simplify. Then check the answers.

Answer 10

Just plug in the numbers into y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 11

ok so
y - (-3) = 6( x - (-2))

Answer 12

sorry m = -6.

Answer 13

Yes. y - (-3) = -6(x - (-2))
y + 3 = -6(x + 2)

Answer 14

what next?

Answer 15

There is your answer. Check which choice is y + 3 = -6(x + 2)

Answer 16

there is none like that

Answer 17

maybe
y = -6x + 2 - 3
y = -6x -1

Answer 18

Don't you think the answer y + 3 = -6(x + 2) matches the first choice?

Answer 19

oh it does? thanks!
