slope-intercept form

Question

A line passes through the point (6, -7) and has a slope of −3.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

.

Answer 1

y+7 = -3(x-6)

y= -3x + 11 in slope intercept form

-3=slope=x term's coefficient, intercept=constant term

check the equation

plug in the point (6,-7)

-7 = -3(6) + 11

-7 = -18 + 11
