Question

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = x-7 that

passes through (-3,-2).

Answer 1

B. y + 2 = ½(x + 3)

Explanation:

Insert the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. Remember, in the Point-Slope Formula [y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)], all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, which is the reason why you see two "+" in the equation. The ordered pair of [-3, -2] has two negative numbers, therefore you need to make them both positive in the equation [see above answer].
