>wat is an equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-6)
>and has a slope of -3??? some one plzzz help me those are the choices
>y= -3x+6
>y=-3x-6
>y=-3x+10
>y=-3x+14
Put x,y in each and find out which equations are equal.
To find the equation of a line that passes through a given point and has a specified slope, you can use the point-slope form of a linear equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1),
where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope. In this case, the given point is (4, -6), and the slope is -3.
Substituting the values into the equation, we get:
y - (-6) = -3(x - 4).
Simplifying,
y + 6 = -3x + 12.
To isolate y, subtract 6 from both sides:
y = -3x + 6.
Therefore, the correct equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and has a slope of -3 is:
y = -3x + 6.
So, the answer is y = -3x + 6.
