Question

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point

(2, 6) and has a slope of 5?

A) y+2=5(x+6)

B)y-6=5(x+-2)

C)y−2=5(x−6)

Dy+6=5(x+2)

Answer 1

Answer: B, y-6=5(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation: Point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1). Given that in ordered pairs the x point comes first, we know the left part of the equation needs to be y-6. We also know the slope is 5, so the first part of the right side is 5(x-x1). We know that the x is 2, so we have y-6=5(x-2).
