Question

Which of the following points would fall on the line produced by the point-slope form equation y - 2 = 3/2(x + 4) when graphed?

(-2, -1)


(-6, 5)


(-2, 5)


(6, -1)

Answer 1

c. (-2, 5)

Explanation:

y - 2 = 3/2(x + 4)

to know which is the correct option we have to replace the equation x and y with what is in the point

a.

y - 2 = 3/2(x + 4)

(-1) - 2 = 3/2((-2) + 4)

-3 = 3/2(2)

-3 = 3

Wrong

b.

y - 2 = 3/2(x + 4)

(5) - 2 = 3/2((-6) + 4)

3 = 3/2(-2)

3 = -3

Wrong

c.

y - 2 = 3/2(x + 4)

(5) - 2 = 3/2((-2) + 4)

3 = 3/2(2)

3 = 3

Correct

d.

y - 2 = 3/2(x + 4)

(-1) - 2 = 3/2((6) + 4)

-3 = 3/2(10)

-3 = 15

Wrong
