Question

There is a line that includes the point (-2,5) and has a slope of 2. what is the point-slope form?

Answer 1

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 2 and (a, b) = (- 2, 5), thus

y - 5 = 2(x - (- 2)), that is

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)
