## mckenzieandjesus one year ago Please help me! (: write an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) of the line through point P(6,7) with slope -2 A. y-7=-2(x-6) B. y=-2x+7 C. y=-2x+19 D. y-6=-2(x-7)

2. pooja195

$\huge~y-y1=m(x-x1)$ m=slope (x1,y1)

3. mckenzieandjesus

so 6-61=-2 (7-71) did i do it right?

4. pooja195

why did u keep the ones there?

5. mckenzieandjesus

oh oops. so the answer would be y-6=-2(x-7)?

6. pooja195

good now can you solve that?

7. mckenzieandjesus

Well isn't that all I had to do the answer would be D right?

9. pooja195

do u see it ?

10. mckenzieandjesus

Well its multiple choice and those were the answers I was given to choose. I thought I just need to put (6,7) and the slope -2 into a equation..

11. pooja195

It wants it in slope intercept form :) y=mx+b $\huge~ y-6=-2(x-7)$ Distribute $\huge~-2(x-7)$

12. mckenzieandjesus

Ohhh... so the answer would be B! oops lol. thank you so much!

13. pooja195

yep :)
