Question

Guided Practice

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point that has the given slope.


(–2, –7); m = −3/2


A.
y + 7 = −3/2(x + 2)


B.
y – 7 = −3/2(x – 2)


C.
y – 7 = 3/2(x – 2)

Answer 1

A

y + 7 = - 3/2 (x + 2)

y = - 3/2x - 10

Explanation:

Slope: -3/2

Point: (-2,-7)

y - - 7 = -3/2 (x - - 2)

y + 7 = -3/2 (x + 2)

b = -7 - (-3/2)(-2)

b = -7 - 3 = -10
