Write the standard form of the equation of a line with a slope of 3 passing through the point (-5, -6).

Select one:
a. -x + 3y + 13 = 0
b. -3x + y - 9 = 0
c. 3x - y + 9 = 0
d. x - 3y - 13 = 0

Answer:

Step 1: We need to first find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form by finding b, or the y-intercept.

[tex]-6 = 3(-5) + b\\\\-6 = -15 + b\\\\9 = b[/tex]

Step 3: We now need to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

[tex]y = 3x + 9[/tex]

Step 3: Now we convert the above equation from slope-intercept form to standard form.

[tex]y = 3x + 9\\\\-3x + y = 9\\\\-3x + y - 9 = 0[/tex]

Our equation in standard form is: B. -3x + y - 9 = 0.
