Question

What is the slope of the line below is -5. Which of the following is the point-slope form of the line?

Answer 1

[see below]

Explanation:

Point slope form is:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

(x1, y1) - a point

m - slope

We are given the point of (2, -7), and the slope of -5.

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow y-(-7)=-5(x-2)\rightarrow\boxed{y+7=-5(x-2)}`

Hope this helps.
