Answer:

Choice B: Only (-1,-5)

Explanation:

With this one, first the equation needs to be reduced into point-slope format.

y+5=2(x+1)

Distributive Prop.

y+5=2x+2

Carry over the 5 to the opposite side.

y=2x-3

Now, with the point slope form, it makes it easier to plug in the question choices to find which if any are correct.

Choice A: X is 5; Y is 10

y=2x-3

y=2(5)-3

y=10-3

y=7

This does not give a y value of 10, so it is false.

Choice B: X is -1; Y is -5

y=2(x)-3

y=2(-1)-3

y= -2-3

y= -5

This does give a y value of -5, so it is true. Choices C and D are therefore false as well, since only Choice B works.
