Question

A line has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (-1, -6). What is the equation of the line, written in point-slope form?

Answer 1

Answer:

 y = -2x  - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

m = -2

Point = (-1 , -6)

Line of the equation: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

   y - [-6] = -2 *(x - [-1] )

    y + 6  = -2 * (x + 1)

   y + 6  = -2x  - 2

         y = -2x - 2 - 6

        y = -2x  - 8
