Question

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope -3 that contains the point

(10,-1)?
A. y+ 1 = 3(x + 10)
B. x + 1 = -3(y-10)
C. y + 1 = -3(x-10)
D. y + 1 = 3(x-10)

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Since we have a point and a slope, we can use the point slope formula.

The point slope formula is:

`y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1))`

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

We know that the slope is -3, and the point given is (10, -1)

Therefore, our m is -3, x1 is 10, and y1 is -1.

y- -1 = -3(x-10)

y--1 is the same as y+1

y+1= -3(x-10)

Therefore, choice C is correct.
