Question

5. Which equation represents the line, in POINT-SLOPE FORM, that has a slope of 3 and

passes through the point (-1,5)?
A. y - 5 = 3(x + 1)
B. y + 5 = 3(x - 1)
C. y - 3 = -1(x + 5)
D.y +1 = 3(x - 5)

Answer 1

A. y-5=3(x+1)

Explanation:

point slope form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

x1=5 and y1=-1 m=3

input into the formula and you'll get

y-5=3(x-(-1) now simplify

y-5=3(x+1)
