Slope equations

Question

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that goes through the point  with ?

Answer 1

You can use this to find the equation of the line: y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) by plugging in m and the point provided.

(y-(-8))=-3(x-(-1)) Simplify

y+8=-3(x+1) Distribute

y+8=-3x-3 Subtract 8 from both sides

y+8-8=-3x-3-8 Simplify

y=-3x-11
