Question

The slope of the line below -5 which of ths following is the point slope form of the line?​

Answer 1

The right answer is y + 8= -5 (x-2).

Answer 2

`y+8=-5(x-2)`

Explanation:

Slope of the line =-5

To get point slope form of the line , we use the point that passes through the line. LEts pick the point (2,-8)

Point slope form of a line is

`y-y_1=m (x-x_1)`

(x1,y1) is (2,-8) and slope m = -5

`y-(-8)=-5(x-2)`

`y+8=-5(x-2)` is the equation of the line in point slope form.
