Question

The slope of the line shown below is-5 which of the following is the point slope form of the line ?

Answer 1

Given The graph of a line with a slope of -5

As shown the line pass through the point ( 2 , -8 )

The general point slope form is :

`y-k=m\cdot(x-h)`

where m is the slope and ( h , k ) the coordinates of the point

so,

`\begin{gathered} m=-5 \\ (h,k)=(2,-8) \\ \\ y-(-8)=-5\cdot(x-2) \\ \\ y+8=-5(x-2) \end{gathered}`

So, the answer is option D. y + 8 = -5(x-2)
