Question

HELP! PLEASE!!! 50 POINTS!!!

The slope of the line below is -3. Use the coordinates of the labeled point to find a point-slope equation of the line.

Answer 1

A. y + 7 = - 3 (x - 5)

Explanation:

Given point is (5, - 7)

Slope of line (m) = - 3

Equation of line in point slope form is given as:

y - (-7) = - 3(x - 5)

y + 7 = - 3 (x - 5)

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

Point slope is y-y1 = slope (x -x1)

Plug in the point you're given and you get

y + 7 = -3 (x - 5)

Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions
