Question

Determine the equation of the line with slope −2 that passes through the point M(−1, −3).

2x + y = −5
 2x − y = −5
 x − 2y = 5
 x − 2y = −5

dude · Answer

Lines are written as $y=mx+b$

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The question tells us that the slope is -2, soo
$y=-2x+b$

The question give us the point (-1,-3) (Points are written as (x,y))

dude · Answer

So substitute 
$-3=-2(-1)+b$

Solve for b, do you know how to do that?
