Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (7, −2) and has a slope of −3.

y − 2 = −3(x + 7)
y + 7 = −3(x − 2)
y + 2 = −3(x − 7)
y − 7 = −3(x + 2)

Is it C?

pandasneakers · Answer

Do I plug in x,y ? Into the equation??

magallar23 · Answer

That's one way to check the answer.

Start with the point-slope equation of a line, 

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

Then just plug in the x-coordinate of the point into $x_1$, the y-coordinate of the point into $y_1$, and the slope into $m$.

Then compare your result with the choices.

Please OMIT that "need only answers plz" comment.  OpenStudy strongly discourages either asking for direct answers (without discussion) or giving them out, which you'll understand better if you'd please read the Code of Conduct.

Here you are given one point on a line and are told the value of the slope.  Use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line to determine the equation of this line.  Can you share your knowledge of the point-slope form?  If so, write it out here.

Once you've done that, just subst. the given value of the slope into the equation, and finish the job by substituting the x- and y-coordinates of the given point into that same equation.  Simplify your result if necessary.
