What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,6) and has a slope of -1?

Question

I need to know what the answer is

Answer 1

Use the point-slope form equation of a line: If (x₀,y₀) is a point on a line and m is the slope of the line, then

y-y₀ = m(x-x₀) or y = m(x-x₀) + y₀

Answer 2

Use y = mx + b to get your answer. In place of m which is slope, place -1. In place of x place 3 and in place of y put 6 since it passes through that point. In doing this, you get 6 = (-1)(3) + b. Now solving for b you get b = 9. So the final equation will be y = -1x + 9
