Question

What is the point-slope equation of a line with slope -4 that contains the point

(-2,7)?
A. Y+7 = -4(x-2)
B. y-7 = -4(x - 2)
c. y+ 7 = -4(x + 2)
D. Y-7 = -4(x + 2)

Answer 1

y -7 = -4(x + 2) (Answer D)

Explanation:

The general point-slope equation is y - k = m(x - h)

If the slope, m, is -4, and the point is (h, k) with h = -2 and k = 7), then we have in this case

y -7 = -4(x + 2) (Answer D)
