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)Responsesy=−x+3 y equals negative x plus 3y=−x−2 y equals negative x minus 2y=x−1 y equals x minus 1y=−x−5

Answer 1

Use y = mx + b. With m = −1 and point (−5,3): 3 = (−1)(−5) + b → 3 = 5 + b → b = −2.
So the equation is y = −x − 2.
