A line has a slope of -g and passes through the point (-3, 8). What is the equation of the line? O y--&x+6
O y=-Źx+8
O y=6x-3
O y=8x-

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
