The graph of a line has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (–6, –5). What is the equation of the line in point-slope form? y – 5 = 2(x – 6) y – 6 = 2(x – 5) y + 5 = 2(x + 6) y + 6 = 2(x + 5)

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

Simplify.

y + 5 = 2(x + 6)

Slope = 2, passes through (-6, -5)

Point-slope form : y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Plug in everything.

*Remember, m = slope.

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

Simplify.

y + 5 = 2(x + 6)
