Question

The point-slope form of a line that has a slope of -2 and passes through point (5,-2) is shown below.

y+2=-2(x-5)
What is the equation in slope-intercept form?
O y=-2x+12
O y=-2x+8
O y=-22-7
O y=-2x-3

Answer 1

y = -2x + 8

Explanation:

The equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

y + 2 = -2(x - 5)

y + 2 = -2x + 10 {subtract 2 from both sides

y = -2x + 8
