Question

What is the equation of a line passing through (-3, 7) and having a slope of -1/5?

Answer 1

are either of these correct

y = -5x + 22



y = 5x + 22

Answer 2

As I done before, you plug in the points to \[Y=-1/5x + B\]

Answer 3

wait what are you supposed to plug in for B

Answer 4

which would be \[7=-1/5*-3 + B\]

Answer 5

sher, your trying to find B, the y intercept

Answer 6

Your solving for B

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

how do you solve it

Answer 9

As I put, plug in the X value for X and Y value for y in formula as shown above

Answer 10

so I've got b=1/5*3+7 what's next?

Answer 11

Simplify that

Answer 12

b=7.6

Answer 13

so is that supposed to be the correct answer

Answer 14

No, getting the y intercept, plug in "B" to \[Y = -1/5x + B\]

Answer 15

is that one of these

Answer 16

No, is there more choices

Answer 17

y = -5x + 22



y = 5x + 22
