Write Linear Equations using Slope & y-Intercepts

Question 1 • LVA- Mathematical Modeling - Fall

Find the equation of the line specified.The slope is -7, and it passes through ( 5, -3).

Answer
A
y = -7x - 3
B
y = -7x + 32
C
y = -14x + 32
D
y = -7x - 38

Explanation

Use the point-slope form with slope -7 and point (5, -3): y - (-3) = -7(x - 5). Simplifying gives y + 3 = -7x + 35, so y = -7x + 32. The matching equation is choice b, y = -7x + 32.
