Write the standard form of the equation of a line with a slope of 3 passing through the point (-1, -5).

Select one:
a. -x + 3y + 14 = 0
b. x - 3y - 14 = 0
c. 3x - y - 2 = 0
d. -3x + y + 2 = 0

Answer:

Step 1: We start by writing the equation of the line in slope-intercept form by solving for b.

[tex]-5 = 3(-1) + b\\\\-5 = -3 + b\\\\-2 = b\\[/tex]

Step 2: Now we set up the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

[tex]y = 3x - 2[/tex]

Step 3: We can now convert the above equation from slope-intercept form to standard form.

[tex]y = 3x - 2\\\\-3x + y = -2\\\\-3x + y + 2 = 0[/tex]

The equation of the line in standard form is: D: -3x + y + 2 = 0.
