Question

The slope of the line below is -2. Write the equation of the line in point-slope

form, using the coordinates of the labeled point. Do not use parenthesis on
the y side.

Answer 1

y=-2x-3

Explanation:

Since the slope is -2, we can make an equation : y=-2x+b

Now plug in the point given to find b.

1=-2(-2)+b

1=4+b

b=-3

so, the equation is y=-2x-3

Answer 2

The correct answer is: y - 1= -2(x + 2)
