Question

which equation in point-slope form contains the point (-3, 5) and has slope -1 ANSWERS y + 3 = -1(x-5) y-3= -1(x+5) y+5=-1(-3) y-5=-1(x+3)

Answer 1

y - 5 = -1(x + 3)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

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

m - slope

We have m = -1 and the point (-3, 5). Substitute:

`y-5=-1(x-(-3))\\\\y-5=-(x+3)`
