Question

Write the equation of the line, with the given properties, in slope intercept form. Slope = -7, through (-6,8)

Answer 1

Given:

The slopr of line is m = -7.

The line passes through point (-6,8).

Explanation:

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is,

$y=mx+c$

Substitute the valus in the equation to determine the value of c.

$\begin{gathered} 8=-7\cdot(-6)+c \\ c=8-42 \\ =-34 \end{gathered}$

So equation of line is y = -7x - 34.
