Question

11. Write the equation of a line in point-slope form

that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point
(-5,9).
A. y - 9 = -2(x + 5)
B. y - 9= -2(x - 5)
C. y - 5 = -2(x - 9)
D. y - 5 = -2(x + 9)

Answer 1

Excuse me, wrong answer did not mean to type that. It would be C.

Explanation:

This is because C. y - 5 = -2 (x+9) is an inequality. But, because of the slope of -2 passing through the point (-5, 9), it would be x - 9. So, C.
