Question

Hello! :-)

What is the equation in standard form of the line which passes through (4, −2) and has a slope of −3?

Answer Options:
a. x + 3y = 10
b. x + 3y = −10
c. 3x + y = 10
d. 3x + y = −10

Thanks in advance! :-)

Answer 1

We first need to put the pair and the slope into y=mx+b....

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer 3

Answer is: c. 3x + y = 10.

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

would you like to know how to get it?

Answer 6

the general equation of the slope is given by
\[y -y _{o}=m(x - x _{o})\]
where \[y _{o} = -2\]
and \[x _{o}= 4\]
and slope = m = -3
by solving the equation we get
\[3x +y =10\]

Answer 7

the line*** not the slope
