Question

The slope of the line below is -3. Use the coordinates of the labeled point to find a point-slope equation of the line. 10 -10 (5.-7) - 10+ O A. y-7 = 3(x + 5) B. y-73-3(x + 5) O C. y + 7 = 3(x - 5) D. y + 7 =-3(x-5)​

Answer 1

y + 7 = -3 ( x - 5 )

Explanation:

Answer 2

y + 7 = -3 ( x - 5 )

Explanation:

Point slope is:

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

We are given the slope of -3 and the point of (5, -7).

Replace the variables with the appropriate values.

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow\boxed{y+7=-3(x-5)}`

The correct answer should be D.

Hope this helps.
