Question

Which of the following is a correct equation for the line passing through the point (-1,4) and having slope m = -3?

Answer 1

Y= -3x +11

Answer 2

Check all that apply answer choices A y=-3x+1. B 3x+Y=1. C y=-1/4x-3. D y-4=3(x+1)

Answer 3

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:
y = mx+b

So (-1,4) y=mx+b or 3=-3x(-1+b)
Solve for B and you'll get b=3-(-3)(-1) and B=1

So you'll get y=-3x+1 as your final answer.

@Austin66 is wrong.
