Question

@jim_thompson5910 Write the equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of -1 and passes through the point (-2, 5) (Points : 2)
y + 5 = -1(x – 2)
y + 2 = 1(x – 5)
y + 1 = 5 (x + 2)
y – 5 = -1(x + 2)

Answer 1

use

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 2

m is your slope

(x1,y1) is the point that the line goes through

Answer 3

WHAT NUMBERS DO I P[UT IN??

Answer 4

whats the given slope

Answer 5

IS IT B?

Answer 6

the given slope is ______

Answer 7

-2 AND 5

Answer 8

that's the given point

Answer 9

SO ITS A THEN

Answer 10

the x and y coordinates more specifically

Answer 11

how did you get A

Answer 12

because therews a +5 and a -2

Answer 13

keep in mind that you have x-x1

x1 is -2

so...

x-x1 = x-(-2) = x+2

Answer 14

so it's like the signs flip

Answer 15

so i change it?

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

ok i trhink its B

Answer 18

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - y1 = -1(x - x1)

y - 5 = -1(x - (-2))

y - 5 = -1(x + 2)

Answer 19

you somehow flipped x and y

Answer 20

in (-2, 5) x comes first, so x = -2, y = 5

Answer 21

:)

Answer 22

think of it alphabetically
