Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope of -3.

A) y - 6 = -3x - 3
B) y - 6 = -3(x + 1)
C) y = -3x + 3
D) 3x + y = 3

Answer 1

i am going to go with the first one :) as my guess

Answer 2

first we have to find the slope by using the slope formula :
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x3 - x6)
(-6,3) x1 = -6 and y1 = 6
(3,0) x3 = 3 and y3 = 0

now lets sub..
m = (0 - 3) / (3 - (-6)
m = -3/6
m = -1/2 <-- this is your slope

now we will use the point slope formula :
y - y1 = m(x - x1) using slope 1/2 and points (-6,3)
y - 4 = -1/2(x - (-6)
y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

Out of all of this, I'd honestly say A is your answer:A) y - 6 = -3x - 3.
