ALGEBRA 1 Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (−2, −3) with a slope of −6. A.) y + 3 = −6(x + 2) B.) y + 2 = 6(x + 3) C.) y − 3 = −6(x − 2) D.) y − 2 = 6(x − 3)
do you know what point-slope form looks like?
y = mx + b... right??
\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\) here, \((x_1,y_1)\) represents a point the line goes through and m represents the slope
Oh Okay
so just plug in the information and you should see your answer choice
y − 2 = 6(x − 3) so it's D
close, but there are some adjustments to be made, I'm gonna try and color code this
okay :)
\(y-\color{red}{y_1}=\color{green}{m}(x-\color{purple}{x_1})\\(\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1})=(\color{purple}{-2},\color{red}{-3})\\\color{green}{m}=\color{green}{-6} \\ y-\color{red}({-3})=\color{green}{-6}(x-\color{purple}({-2}))\)
That makes sense!! THANK YOU BIBBY!! Lol & i'ma send you a friend request on PA
slide into those dms baby girl
hahaha XD
