Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the point and has thegiven slope.(-2, 4); m = -6None of the other answers are correctOy - 6x = 86x + y = -8Oy - 6x = -86x - y = 8

Respuesta :

the general form of the line is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where m is the slope of the line and b the y-intercept

we get the slope from the statement m=-6

[tex]y=-6x+b[/tex]

now to find the value of b we replace the point (-2,4) and solve for b

[tex]\begin{gathered} (4)=-6(-2)+b \\ 4=12+b \\ b=4-12 \\ b=-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

now replace the value of b

[tex]y=-6x-8[/tex]

and transform to the standard form placing the unknows on the same side

[tex]y+6x=-8[/tex]

we can reorganize

[tex]6x+y=-8[/tex]

then right option is Third option
