Question

Which equation is in standard form and represents a line with slope –1 through the point (–3, 5)?

Answer 1

A. x+y=2
B. y=-x+5
c. y=-x+2
D.-x+y=5

Answer 2

You would start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line and then go to the standard form. Point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where you have a given point of (-3, 5) which is your (x1, y1) and "m" is your slope.

y - 5 = (-1)[x - (-3)] -> y - 5 = -x - 3

Now, get the "x" and "y" terms over to the left by themselves.

x + y = 2
