Question

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)

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

C.

(y + 1) = –5(x – 2)

Answer 2

The equation for point-slope form is (y-y1) = m(x-x1)

Plug in the values, and you get (y+1) = -5(x-2)

The answer is C
