Q:

Choose the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (βˆ’1, 6) and has a slope of βˆ’3.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:The equation of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. y and x are the y and x values of any point respectively.The information we have:y = 6x = -1m = -36 = -3*-1 + b6 = 3 + bb = 3So now we know that m = -3 and b = 3y and x were 6 and -1 in this case but we need an equation that works for any point on the line so we can keep y and x just as it is (variables, not numbers).The final equation is:y = -3x + 3
