Write an equation of the line through the given point with the given slope. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
-$$( 4 , - 3 ) ; m = - 9$$
A) $y = 9 x + 32$
B) $y = - 9 x + 31$
C) $y = - 9 x + 34$
D) $y = - 9 x + 33$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the point-slope form $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$ with point (4, -3) and slope -9, we get $y + 3 = -9(x - 4)$. Simplifying, $y = -9x + 36 - 3$, which gives $y = -9x + 33$.
