Question

The slope of the line below is 5. Which of the following is the point-slope form of the line?


A. y + 3 = 5(x - 1)
B. y - 3 = 5(x + 1)
C. y - 3 = -5(x + 1)
D. y + 3 = -5(x - 1)

Answer 1

y-(ypoint) = slope(x-xpoint)

Answer 2

since the given point is (-1,3) the xpoint term is -1 and the ypoint is 3

Answer 3

so it woul be y+3 = -5(x-1)

Answer 4

except the problem says that the slope is 5.....not negative 5. You can tell the slope is positive because going from left to right it goes up

Answer 5

soo it would be A

Answer 6

sooo close =)

need to subtract the two points so y-3 because the ypoint is 3

and x+1 because that is really x - - 1......x minus negative 1......yes?

Answer 7

so it would y-3=5(x+1)

Answer 8

cause thats the only answer choice

Answer 9

agree
