Question

Graph the line with slope −2 passing through the point , 5−1.

Answer 1

y+1=-2(x-5) - Point Slope Form

y=-2x+9 - Slope Intercept Form

Explanation:

We will be using point-slope formula, as attached in a picture below.

1) Plug in the slope -2 as "m" in point slope form, along with the two points, (5, -1)

y+1=-2(x-5)

2) Next, if you want to put the line into slope-intercept form, you will need to distribute -2 to x and -5:

y+1=-2x+10

3) Now, subtract 1 from both sides:

y=-2x+9
