Question

Which equation correctly uses point (-2,-6) to write

the equation of this line in point-slope form?

Oy-6 = {(x - 2)

O y-6 = (x - 2)

O y +6 = (x + 2)

O y + 6 = (x + 2)

Answer 1

Y + 6= (x + 2)

Explanation:

The reason is that the point-slope form is y - y1= m ( x - x1)

for some reason, you are missing an m or the slope in your equation so your answer is half correct.

Answer 2

y + 6 = 2.5(x + 2)

Explanation:

None of the listed answers is correct.

Point slope form is

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where m is the slope and (x₁ , y₁) is a point on the line

in this case the slope, m = 2.5

y + 6 = 2.5(x + 2)
