Question

Using point-slope form, write an equation of the line that passes through (2,-1) and has a slope of -5

a. (y-1)=-5 (x+2)
b. (y-2)=-5 (x-1)
c. (y+1)=-5 (x-2)
d. (y+2)=-5 (x-1)

Answer 1

Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that passes through (2, –1) and has a slope of –5.

A. (y – 1) = –5(x + 2)

B. (y – 2) = –5(x – 1)

C. (y + 1) = –5(x – 2)

D. (y + 2) = –5(x – 1)

Explanation:

C. (y + 1) = –5(x – 2)

Answer 2

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

y-(-1)=-5(x-2)

Y+1=-5(x-2)
