Question

What is the equation in standard form of the line which passes through (-2,6) and has a slope of -1?

Answer 1

find the y-intercept
do you know how find that

Answer 2

It's 6, isnt it?

Answer 3

nope you have to solve the equation 6 is y value in oreder pair not the y-intercep

Answer 4

m is slope so put slope , x ,and y value into it

Answer 5

so 8 then?

Answer 6

nope can you show me the work please

Answer 7

the equation in standard form y = mx + b
passes through (-2,6) x = -2 and y = 6
slope of -1 m = -1
find b
then write the equation for any x and any y (x,y) slope = -1 b you just found

Answer 8

I put it as y = -1(-2) + 6

Answer 9

and then that turns into 2 + 6
