What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,-5) and has a slope of -3

y = -3x + -4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

to find the y-intercept we need to add or subtract (in this case it's add) a number to x to get to 0.

x = -1.

to get to 0, you need to add one

do that same thing to y

therefore the y-intercept (or b) is negative 4.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571

step-by-step explanation:

∠cbe and ∠deb are same-side interior angles.
