Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -5) with a

slope of -3. (1 point)
​

Answer 1

y = -3x + 1

Explanation:

Next time, please share the answer choices.

Use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is the given point and m the given slope:

y - (-5) = -3(x - 2) Here we have substituted -5 for k, 2 for h and -3 for m.

y + 5 = -3x + 6

or

y = -3x + 1
