Question

What is the equation of the line that has a slope of -3 and passes through (1,6)
A.y=-3x-1
B.y=-3x+11
C.y=-3x+9
D.y=-3x+1

Answer 1

You are given the slope so plug that into the formula: y-y1=-3(x-x1) to get your equation

Answer 2

@Juanita35

Answer 3

So i plug in the point i have

Answer 4

yes, so you plug in the point and solve for the equation

Answer 5

what did you get?

Answer 6

So it would be y-6=-3(1-x1

Answer 7

almost

Answer 8

y - 6 = -3(x - 1)

Answer 9

and then you would have y - 6 = -3x + 3

Answer 10

Oh i see you distrubated

Answer 11

you want to distribute

Answer 12

and get y all by itself

Answer 13

By moving the 6

Answer 14

correct, so you would add 6 to both sides

Answer 15

Would it be -3x+9

Answer 16
