Find the equation of the line that contains the given point and has the given slope-

point (0, 5) m=-3
Explain..

Sagot :

Answer:

y-5 = -3x

or

y = -3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point slope form of the equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-5 = -3(x-0)

y-5 = -3x

We can change it to slope intercept form y= mx+b by adding 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -3x+5

y = -3x+5
