A line has a slope of -3 and goes through
the point (5, -8). What is the equation of
the line in slope-intercept form?

Respuesta :

Answer:

y=-3x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept from is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is the intercept. so far we can plug in what we know. -8=y; 5=x; and -3=m.

(-8)=(-3)(5)+b. now solve for b which would give us b=7. now we plug in m and b int y=mx+b which gives us

y=-3x+7
