Question

A line goes through the point (2, 5) and has a slope of -3. Write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

A line goes through the point (2, 5) and has a slope of -3. Write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form.

**Solution:**

Using the general equation of line

$$y - y_0 = k(x - x_0)$$

We have

$$y - 5 = -3(x - 2)$$ $$y = -3x + 11$$

**Answer:** $y = -3x + 11$
