EXTRA POINTS
Find an equation, in slope-intercept form, that passes through point (-5, 6) with slope -2.

Select one:
a. y = 2x + 3
b. y = -2x + 3
c. y = -2x - 4
d. y = 2x - 4

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) y = -2x - 4

Since we have the slope, we can use it along with either point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -2(x + 5)

y - 6 = -2x - 10

y = -2x - 4
