Question

Write an equation in point slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(-3,5); m=2/3

A. y+3= 2/3(x-5)
B. y+5=(2/3)(x+3)
C. y-5=2/3(x-3)
D. y-5=2/3(x+3)

Answer 1

D.
`\displaystyle y - 5 = (2)/(3)(x + 3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula [y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)], all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
