Question

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 2/5 that contains the point (-3, 6)?

O A. y-6= -2/5(x+3)
O B. y+6 = 2/5(x+3)
O C. y-6 = 2/5(x+3)
O D.y-3 = 2/5(x+3)

Answer 1

C.) y - 6 = 2/5(x + 3)

The original point slope equation is the following

`y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)`

When you plug in negative point values into this equation, the sign changes from '-' to '+'. This is how you can determine which equation accurately represents the line.

Answer 2

y -6 = 2/5(x+3)

Explanation:

The point slope form of an equation is

y -y1 = m(x-x1)

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

y -6 = 2/5(x- -3)

y -6 = 2/5(x+3)
