Question

What is the point slope form of a line with slope -5 that contains the point (2-1)? Ay+ 1 = -5(x-2) B. y + 1 = 5(x + 2) O coy-1-5(x-2) O D. y 15(x + 2)? anyone help plz ​

Answer 1

A. y + 1 = -5(x - 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Slope m = -5

Point (2, -1)

Step 2: Find Equation

1. Substitute in variables [Point-Slope Form]: y - -1 = -5(x - 2)
2. Simplify: y + 1 = -5(x - 2)
