Question

The slope of the line below is -5 which of the following is the point slope form of the line

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 5 and (a, b) = (2, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - 5(x - 2) , that is

y + 7 = - 5(x - 2) → B
