Question

What is the equation of a line with a slope of –2 that passes through the point (6, 8)?

Answer 1

Here you're given a point on the line and the slope of the line. Use the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line: \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 2

Plug in the coordinates of the given point, along with the slope, m. Simplify your result.

Answer 3

I use y = mx + b

Answer 4

m represents ur slope
