Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -5) with slope 6.

A. y +5= -6(x+6)
B.y+6= -6(x+5)
C. y+6=6(x+5)
D.y+5= 6(x+6)

Answer 1

Option (D) is the correct option.

Explanation:

Let the equation of a line which passes through (x', y') and slope 'm' is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

If this line passes through a point (-6, -5) and slope 'm' = 6

Equation of the line will be,

y -(-5) = 6[x - (-6)]

y + 5 = 6(x + 6)

Therefore, equation the line will be y + 5 = 6(x + 6).

Option (D) will be the answer.
