Question

Mr. Shaw graphs the function f(x) = –5x + 2 for his class. The line contains the point (-2, 12). What is the point-slope form of the equation of the line he graphed?

y – 12 = –5(x + 2)
y – 12 = 2(x + 2)
y + 12 = 2(x – 2)
y + 12 = –5(x – 2)

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

Answer 2

the answer is A y − 12 = − 5 ( x + 2 )

Explanation:

y − 12 = ( − 5 x + 2 ) ⋅ ( x + 2 )

to get this answer you can plug it into point slope equation:

y-y1=m(x+x1)

plug in the given information:

-y and x will stay the same

-y1 will be 12 and x1 will be -2 (remember the given point -2,12)

-m will be the slope given from the y intercept equation

I hope this helps~
