Answer 1

A

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

C

Answer 4

D

Answer 5

the slope of 2x +3y = 5 is -2/3

so y - y1 = -2/3(x - x1) where y1 = 1 and x1 = -2

Answer 6

so y -1 = -2/3x + 4/3

times everything by 3

3y - 3 = -2x +4

3y +2x = 7

Answer 7

no they look the same but are different

Answer 8

yeah i noticed that, sorry

Answer 9

oh its okay lol. but your answer doesnt match any of my answers? :(

Answer 10

yeah i messed up on my addition

Answer 11

it should be 3y - 3 = -2x - 4

so the answer is

3y +2x = -1

answer D
