Write an equation for the line that passes through the points (0, -6) and (-3, 0). y = -2 x - 3 y = - 1/2x - 3 y = - 1/2x - 6 y = -2 x - 6

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = -2x - 6  

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope-intercept form to start the equation. y2 - y1 / x2 -x1

-6 - 0 / 0 - (-3) = -6 / 3 = m = -2

Then plug m (-2) into your y=mx+b equation.

y = -2x + b

substitute -6 for y value and 0 for x value to find value of b.

-6 = -2(0) + b

simplify

-6 = 0 +b

subtract 0 from both sides

-6 = b

plug b value back into the equation

final equation of line is: y = -2x -6
