Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (-2, -1) and has a slope of 5.

y - 1 = 5(x - 2)

y + 1 = 5(x + 2)

y + 2 = 5(x + 1)

y - 2 = 5(x - 1)

Answer 1

y-y1 = m(x-x1)
where m is the gradient and (x1,y1) is your point
so y+1 = 5(x+2)

Answer 2

just use the formula y - y1 = m ( x - x1) and put the values y1 = -1,x1 = -2 and m = 5
