Question

What is the equation of a line if it has the slope -3 and goes through the point (2,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line will be 3x+y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find point-slope format line equation is (y-y1) = m (x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the coordinate point which satisfy these line equation

So, {y-(-5)} = -3 × (x-2)

=> (y+5) = -3 × (x-2)

=> y+5 = -3x + 6

=> 3x + y = 6 - 5

=> 3x + y = 1 (Ans.)

So,the answer of this question will be 3x + y = 1.
