Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (–1, 5) with a slope of 2 in standard form.

answer choices:
–2x – y = –7

2x – y = –7

2x – y = 11

–2x + y = –11

Answer 1

u have a point (x0,y0) and the slope m. so u can use
\[ \large y-y_0=m(x-x_0) \]

Answer 2

I just don't know how to write an equation for it... @helder_edwin

Answer 3

ok u have m=2 and have the point (x0,y0)=(-1,5) then
\[ \large y-5=2(x-(-1)) \]

Answer 4

this becomes
\[ \large y-5=2(x+1) \]
\[ \large y-5=2x+2 \]
\[ \large -5-2=2x-y \]
\[ \large 2x-y=-7 \]

Answer 5

got it?

Answer 6

Yes @helder_edwin
