Question

A line has a slope of 11 and passes through the point (5,7). Which of these is an equation for the line? O A. y-7 = -11(x - 5) B. y + 7 = 11(x + 5) O C. y-5 = -11(x - 7) O D. y - 7 = 11(x - 5) SUBMIT​

Answer 1

D. y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

Explanation:

Use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Plug in the given slope and point:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

So, the correct answer is D. y - 7 = 11(x - 5)
