Question

How do you write an equation of a line with Slope -6, passing through (5,6)?

Answer 1

Substitute the given values into the point-slope form for a linear equation: `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`.

Explanation:

Slope`=` `-6`
Point 1`=` `(5,6)`

The general form for this equation is `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`, where `y_1=6,` `m=-6,` `x_1=5`.

`y=6=-6(x-5)`
