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 1

@Nnesha

Answer 2

yoooooo

Answer 3

y = mx +b slope intercept form
where m is slope so replace m by -6

Answer 4

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Answer 5

hi @iambatman

Answer 6

ok @Nnesha

Answer 7

this is point slope form, so you coordinates are (x1,y1) just use the equation ribhu showed you, and slope is m.

Answer 8

now x1,y1 is the point from which the line passes and slope of line is m.

Answer 9

@heymydearpeople try to do on your own using this concept.

Answer 10

@Nnesha

Answer 11

its not slope intercept form @Nnesha

Answer 12

yes ??

Answer 13

which form is correct?

Answer 14

your answer are in point slope form so use that one

Answer 15

the one that @iambatman said

Answer 16

and @ribhu

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1}) \]

Answer 19

here is the part that always confuses me whatt do i plug in @Nnesha @iambatman

Answer 20

(x . y ) replace x1 and y1

Answer 21

You have the points (-2, -3) this is your (x1,y1) and your slope is the m in the equation which is -6.

Answer 22

what is x and y

Answer 23

You leave that alone

Answer 24

? @iambatman

Answer 25

You don't plug anything in the y and x, just y_1 and x_1 even look at your choices.

Answer 26

is it a ? @iambatman

Answer 27

yes :)

Answer 28

I agree as well :)
