Answer: C) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the general point-slope form is
where m is the slope and
is the point the line goes through. We see that the 2 and the m match up, so m = 2 is the slope.
Side note: We can rewrite that given equation into y - (-5) = 2(x - (-1)) to see that the line goes through the point (-1, -5)
