A student writes the equation for a line that has a slope of -6 and passes through the point (2, –8). y -(-8) = -6(x - 2)

y -(-8) = -6x + 12

y -(-8) + 8 = -6x + 12 + 8

y = -6x + 20

Explain why the work is not correct.

.

y -(-8) = -6(x - 2) or y - (-8) = -6x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient(m) = -6 point (2,-8)

equation of a line is given as;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-8) = -6(x - 2)

y - (-8) = -6x - 12

what is the answer?

a reflection across the x axis and a 90 degree rotation left and right.
