Question

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

Answer 1

What are your options? :)

Answer 2

a. y + 3 = -6(x + 2)
b. y + 2 = 6(x + 3)
c. y - 3 = -6(x - 2)
d. y - 2 = 6(x - 3)

Answer 3

These are in point-slope form.
\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]
where (x_1, y_1) point and m is the slope.
The point you are given is (-2, -3) and the m is -6.
Can you plug those into the equation? :)

Answer 4

I don't know how to

Answer 5

Can you help me do that?

Answer 6

Ok

Answer 7

That is not one of my options though

Answer 8

x_1 is -2 and y_1 is -3. and m is -6.
There are minus signs in the equation and the points are negative so when you plug them in it will make the + sign. :)

Answer 9

So which do you think it is?

Answer 10

Ok

Answer 11

It is either a or b

Answer 12

I don't know which one though

Answer 13

It is b right

Answer 14

A is correct. :D Notice the slope in b is 6 instead of -6, so that one's wrong. :P Good job!

Answer 15

Ok thanks!

Answer 16

Can you help me with one more?

Answer 17

Sure:)

Answer 18

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1.

Answer 19

y = -5x - 1

Answer 20

Right?

Answer 21

That's perfect! ^_^

Answer 22

Ok thanks

Answer 23

Np!
