Question

Look at the figure. Which construction is illustrated? 7. Which is the equation of the line with slope 3 that contains point (−1, 5)?

a) y – 1 = 3(x – 5)
b) y – 5 = 3(x + 1)
c) y – 5 = 3(x − 1)
d) y – 1 = 3(x + 5)

Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

I can't do the 'figure question' because it lacks info, but I can answer the point-slope question.

Point-slope form is:
`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

'm' - slope

'(x1, y1)' - point

We are given the slope of 3 and the point (-1, 5).

Replace 'x1', 'y1', and 'm' with the appropriate values.

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow \boxed{y-5=3(x+1)}`

Option B should be the correct answer.
