What is the equation of the line through (-1, -2) with slope -3?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. y = -3x - 5.

Coordinate of the given point = (-1, -2)

Point-slope: y – y1 = m(x – x1)

⇒ y + 2 = –3(x + 1)

⇒ y + 2 = –3x – 3

⇒ y = –3x – 5
