Question

Identify the equation of the line with a slope of –3.

  1. y = 3x+ 4    
  2. y = 3x– 4    
  3. y = –3x+ 4    
  4. y = –3x– 4    

hintHint:

we know intercept form of line equation
y = mx + c
where m = slope
and c = intercept ( where the line cut the axis)

The correct answer is: y = –3x+ 4


    The equation is y = –3x + 4.
    we know the equation of the line which is intercept at point c
    rightwards double arrow y space equals space m x space plus space c
g i v e n space m left parenthesis s l o p e right parenthesis equals space minus 3
p u t space t h e space v a l u e space o f space m space i n space t h e space e q u a t i o n
y space equals space minus 3 x space plus space c
c space i s space c o n s tan t space
s o space y space equals space minus 3 x space plus 4 space
a n d space a l s o space y space equals space minus 3 x space minus 4 space space b o t h space w o u l d space b e space t h e space a n s w e r

    The x-intercept is the point where the slope of a line crosses the x-axis and the y-intercept is the point where the slope of a line crosses the y-axis
