Use slope-intercept form to write the equation of a line that has a slope of −3 and passes through the point (1, −5).

Use the drop-down menus to select the proper value for each variable that is substituted into the slope-intercept equation.

y = - 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 3 = - 2

y = - 3x - 2 ← equation of line
