Write the equation of the line that passes through point (0, –9) with a slope of 6.
To solve the equation, you must put it into slope/intercept form, right? Yes. You have to so you can solve the problem. The formula for slope/intercept form is:
So, you have the slope of 6, so insert it into your formula. The variable for Slope is M.
You now have Leave the x where it is.
Now you have y=6x+b and you don't know what to do with it. In the points, pick out the y. What is the y? The y in that set of equations is -9, because x comes before y.
Now you have
To simplify it just switch the signs around and now you have your answer,

Write the equation of the line that passes through point (0, –9) with a slope of 6.
(A)y = –9x + 6(B)–9x + 6y = 0 y = 6x – 9 (D)6y = –9
The slope intercept form of a line is , where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept
Your slope, m=6 and your y-interept (0,b)=(0,-9)
y=6x+(-9)
y=6x-9
That is C of your choices.
Happy Calculating!!!!
