Question

Use the point-slope form of the equation y + 4 = 5(x + 6) to identify a point the line passes through and the slope of the line.

A)(6, 4); −5
B)(6, 4); 5
C)(−6, −4); −5
D)(−6, −4); 5

Answer 1

The point (-6, -4) is the point where the line passes through and the slope of the line is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation is y + 4 = 5(x + 6). In this form, the point (-6, -4) represents the point where the line passes through. The slope of the line can be determined by comparing the coefficient of x, which is 5, to the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Therefore, the slope of the line is 5.
