what is the equation for the line in​ point-slope form and​ slope-intercept form for Slope = -6​, passing through (-7,0)

Answer 1

slope = m = -6, through point (-7, 0) = the x intercept

find b = y intercept = (0, b)

plug in the point coordinates into y= mx+b

0 = -6(-7) +b

b = -42

equation in slope intercept form is

y = -6x +42

in point slope form

y 0 = -6(x- -7)

or more concisely

y = -6(x+7)
