how do i do answer the question \"write an equation of a line that passes through the point (1,6) and has a slope of -3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "in the problem
\n" ); document.write( "x1=1, y1=6, m=-3
\n" ); document.write( "so you have
\n" ); document.write( "y - 6 = -3(x - 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 6 = -3x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 3 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 9, is the equation for the line
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can prove to yourself that this is the equation, replace x with 1 and find y \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
