Question

write an equation in the form y=mx+b for the line that passes through the point (-5,-1) and has a slope of -2

Answer 1

So what do you think m would be?

Answer 2

-2

Answer 3

yeah :)

Answer 4

so write y=-2x + b, then sub in x= -5 and y=-1

Answer 5

-4

Answer 6

-1 = -2(-5) + b, so -1=10+b so -11=b :)

Answer 7

so its -1=10=-11 the answer

Answer 8

yeah, b= -1 - 10 = -11

Answer 9

im confused is the y and the x show

Answer 10

x = -5 and y= -1 right?

Answer 11

from the point (-5, -1)

Answer 12

\[y=-2x + b\]
\[-1 = -2(-5) + b\]
\[-1=10 + b\]
\[-11 = b\]
