Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation of this line.​

Answer 1

The answer is C: y + 8 = -5(x - 3)

Explanation:

I took the assignment on Edge

Answer 2

y= -5x +7

Explanation:

We can see points on the graph:

• (2, -3) and (3, -8)

The function in general form is:

• y= mx+b

Let's find the slope and y-intercept as per identified points on the graph:

• m= (y1-y1)/(x2-x1)

• m= (-8+3)/(3-2)= -5

b= y- mx

• b= - 3 -(-5)*2= -3 +10= 7

Based on the found values of m and b, the given line is:

• y= -5x +7
