13 What is the equation of the line that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (4,6)?
A-3x+y=-14
B -3x+y=-6
C 3x+y=18
D 3x+y=22

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

the general equation of a line is

y = ax + b

a is the slope of the line.

b is the y-intercept (the point, where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning the y value when x=0).

we get b by using the point coordinates in the equation and solve for b :

6 = -3×4 + b = -12 + b

18 = b

so, the full line equation is

y = -3x + 18

which is answer C : 3x + y = 18
