Question

Please help!! Will give medals!!

Find the equation of the line specified.
The slope is -7, and it passes through ( 5, -3).


a.
y = -7x - 3
b.
y = -7x + 32
c.
y = -14x + 32
d.
y = -7x - 38

Answer 1

So any idea when you look at those equations?

Answer 2

Not one clue

Answer 3

do you know the equation of y = mx + C?

Answer 4

How about the point-slope equation for a line. That would be a good start.

Answer 5

Maybe using the definition of the slope might help.
\[m=rise/run=(y-y _{1})/(x-x _{1}) = -7 : where _ y _{1}=-3 and x _{1}=5\]
