Question

Write the equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of -1 and passes through the point (-2, 5)

A. y + 5 = -1(x – 2)
B. y + 2 = 1(x – 5)
C. y + 1 = 5 (x + 2)
D. y – 5 = -1(x + 2)

Answer 1

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope (m) = -1
x1 = -2 and y1 = 5
now lets sub in our info
y - 5 = -1(x - (-2)
y = 5 = -1 (x + 2) <-- your answer

Answer 2

oops...y - 5 = -1(x + 2)
