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

–2x – y = –7

2x – y = –7

2x – y = 11

–2x + y = –11

Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (–1, 5) with a slope of 2 in standard form.

–2x – y = –7

2x – y = –7

2x – y = 11

–2x + y = –11

$$y- y_1 = m(x-x_1) $$

parthkohli · Answer

First plug-in values, then convert that equation into standard form.

EQUATIONS TO MEMORIZE
slope formula
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

standard formula
$$Ax+By=C$$

point-slope formula
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept
$$y=mx+b$$

parthkohli · Answer

$$ m = SLOPE = 2$$$$ (x_1,y_1) = (-1,5)$$

anonymous · Answer

so y-5=3(x-2)
