Question

Which point-slope form passes through the point (-2, -1) and has slope 5?

A. (y - 1) = 5(x - 2)
B. (x - 2) = 5(y + 1)
C. (x + 2) = 5(y - 1)
D. (y + 1) = 5(x + 2)

Thank you, everyone!

Answer 1

D. (y+1)=5(x+2)

Explanation:

Point-slope form follows: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Since both x and y are negative for (-2,-1), it becomes a positive because two -'s become a +.

m(slope)=5

y-(-1)=5(x-(-2))

y+5=5(x+2)
