Question

Please help me! (:

write an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) of the line through point P(6,7) with slope -2
A. y-7=-2(x-6)
B. y=-2x+7
C. y=-2x+19
D. y-6=-2(x-7)

Answer 1

@LegendarySadist

Answer 2

\[\huge~y-y1=m(x-x1)\]
m=slope
(x1,y1)

Answer 3

so 6-61=-2 (7-71)
did i do it right?

Answer 4

why did u keep the ones there?

Answer 5

oh oops.
so the answer would be y-6=-2(x-7)?

Answer 6

good now can you solve that?

Answer 7

Well isn't that all I had to do the answer would be D right?

Read the directions again :)

Answer 9

do u see it ?

Answer 10

Well its multiple choice and those were the answers I was given to choose. I thought I just need to put (6,7) and the slope -2 into a equation..

Answer 11

It wants it in slope intercept form :) y=mx+b
\[\huge~ y-6=-2(x-7)\]
Distribute
\[\huge~-2(x-7) \]

Answer 12

Ohhh... so the answer would be B! oops lol. thank you so much!

Answer 13

yep :)
