Question

Tamara is analyzing a line that passes through the point (-5, 3) and has a slope of - 1. How should she write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? (1 point)
y=-x +3
y=-x -2
y=x-1
y =-x - 5

Answer 1

Use point-slope: y − 3 = −1(x + 5) → y − 3 = −x − 5 → y = −x − 2.
Answer: y = −x − 2
