Answer:
y = -3x + 1
Step by step (I hope I don't confuse you):
1. First, look for the equation that has a slope of -3. In this case, it's all of them because they all have -3 before the x value.
2. Then look for what's given:
- The y of (2, -5) is negative.
- If the x is 2, that means that the slope has moved down 3 units twice. (-3 is the slope. -3 x 2 is -6.)
3. Now see what equation will have -5 when you subtract 6 from it's y intercept.
- y = 3x + 11. 11 - 6 is 5, not -5. this one is wrong.
- y = 3x - 13. -13 - 6 is -19, also incorrect.
- y = 3x + 1. 1 - 6 is -5, so this is the correct answer.
Hope you found this helpful.
