Analyze the linear function whose slope is -3 and passes through the coordinate pair (-2,0). Which linear function matches this line?
Answered by yabba dabba
woops, the pair meant to be (2,9) not (2,0) my bad can you try again?
Answered by yabba dabba
none of those matched the 4 options, so here they are so u can decide the right one
A. y=-2x-3
B. y=-3x+3
C. y=3x-3
D. y=-3x+9

Answered by GPT 3.5
The linear function that matches a slope of -3 and passes through the coordinate pair (-2,0) can be found using the point-slope form of a linear equation.

Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m is the slope of the line, and (x₁, y₁) is a point through which the line passes.

Using the given values, the equation becomes:

y - 0 = -3(x - (-2))

Simplifying:

y = -3(x + 2)

Expanding the brackets:

y = -3x - 6

Therefore, the linear function that matches this line is y = -3x - 6.

No problem! Let's recalculate the linear function using the correct coordinate pair.

Using the point-slope form of a linear equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

For this new coordinate pair (2,9) and a slope of -3, the equation becomes:

y - 9 = -3(x - 2)

Expanding the brackets:

y - 9 = -3x + 6

Adding 9 to both sides:

y = -3x + 15

Therefore, the linear function that matches the line with a slope of -3 and passes through the coordinate pair (2,9) is y = -3x + 15.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's determine the correct linear function again.

Using the given slope of -3 and the correct coordinate pair (2,9), the equation becomes:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 9 = -3(x - 2)

Expanding the brackets:
y - 9 = -3x + 6

Adding 9 to both sides:
y = -3x + 15

Comparing this equation with the options provided, we find that the correct linear function is:

D. y = -3x + 9

To find the linear function that matches a slope of -3 and passes through the coordinate pair (-2,9), let's use the point-slope form of a linear equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Substituting the values, we get:

y - 9 = -3(x - (-2))

Simplifying the equation:

y - 9 = -3(x + 2)

Expanding the brackets:

y - 9 = -3x - 6

Adding 9 to both sides:

y = -3x + 3

Therefore, the linear function that matches this line is:

B. y = -3x + 3
