Did I do this Algebra problem correctly? Write an equation of the line that passes through each point with the given slope. (-5, 5) m=-2 I think the answer is y=-2x+5 right

Question

anonymous · Answer

Last time I asked this, I received two different responses

anonymous · Answer

is it y=-2x+5 or y=-2x-5?

mertsj · Answer

Use point slope form: 
$$y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})$$
Replace $$y _{1}$$ with 5.  Replace m with -2.  Replace $$x _{1}$$ with -5 .  Simplify.  That will be your equation.

anonymous · Answer

write in standard form

y+6=(x+4)

the answer is X+Y=-2, correct? PLEASE just say yes or no.
