Question

The slope of the line is -5. Which of the following is the point slope form of the line?

Answer 1

b is the answer for your question

Answer 2

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

If a line passes though a point
`(x_1,y_1)` with slope m, then the point slope form of the line is

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

It is given that the slope of line is -5.

From the given figure it is clear that the line passes through the point (2,-7).

The point slope form of the given line is

`y-(-7)=(-5)(x-2)`

`y+7=-5(x-2)`

The point slope from of the given line is y+7=-5(x-2). Therefore the correct option is B.
