Question

Substituting Values for Variables
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 =

x =

m =

Answer 1

y = -5
x = 1
m = -3

Substitute: -5 = -3(1) + b → b = -2, so the equation is y = -3x - 2.
