Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,-6) and has a slope of -1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of a line:    y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y₁ ---->  -6

x₁ ---->  2

m ---->  -1

                      y - ( -6) = -1 (x - 2)

                      y + 6 = -x +2

                      y = -x - 4

Hope this helps!
