Question

What is the equation of a line passing through (-3, 7) and having a slope of ?

Answer 1

y = -5x + 22
y = 5x + 22
y=1/5x+32/5
y=-1/5x+32/5
y=-5x+22

Answer 2

E. y=-1/5x+22

Answer 4

There's no number beside your slope in the question.

Answer 5

-1/5

Answer 6

Your line has the form y = mx + b
and m is the slope
Here, m = -1/5
Just knowing this only leaves one answer

Answer 7

2 answers. D and E

Answer 8

Is the y intercept 22 or 32/5

Answer 9

You could theoretically stop at D, it's the only equation that has a slope of -1/5 (represented in the equation as -1/5x + ... )

If you want to find the slope, you can plug in the x and y value of the point given into the formula and solve for b, the slope:
\[7=-\frac{1}{5}(-3)+b \]

Answer 10

oh you corrected your last one E, sorry I didn't realize that

Answer 11

Yup

Answer 12

then yes in that case, you ca do the above calculation and solve for b

Answer 13

Did you get E

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

d

Answer 16

yes, \[ 7=-\frac{1}{5}(-3)+b\\
7 = \frac{3}{5}+b\\
b = 7 - \frac{3}{5}\\
b = \frac{35}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{32}{5}\]
