Question

I'm kind of stuck on how to do this. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Write the equation of the line with slope -2 that passes through the point (-1, -3) in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

start with point-slope form:

y+3 = -2(x+1)

Now just rearrange terms to the form you want.

Answer 2

y+3 = -2(x+1)


so

y = -2x-5
