Question

Choose the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (2, 6) and has a slope of -5.

y=-5x+2
y=-5x-6
y=-5x-4
y=-5x+16

Answer 1

D. y = -5x + 16

Explanation:

Insert the input (2) into all the equations and see if you get 6 as the output.

y = -5x + 2

y = -5(2) + 2

y = -10 + 2

y = -8

Not the answer.

y = -5x - 6

y = -5(2) - 6

y = -10 - 6

y = -16

Not the answer.

y = -5x - 4

y = -5(2) - 4

y = -10 - 4

y = -14

Not the answer.

y = -5x + 16

y = -5(2) + 16

y = -10 + 16

y = 6

This is your answer.
