Question

Write an equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of -2 and passes through (5, -1).

A. y + 1 = -2(x – 5)
B. y – 1 = -2(x – 5)
C. y – 5 = -2(x + 1)
D. y -5 = -2(x – 1)

Answer 1

use the point slope form \[\huge y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\]
where m is the slope
x1 is the x coordinate
y1 is the y coordinate

does that help? or do you need more help?

Answer 2

more please

Answer 3

what's your slope here?

Answer 4

-2

Answer 5

i BELIEVE the answer is C.

Answer 6

going to trust you on that
