Question

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

Answer 1

\[y-(-1)=-2(x-5)\]

Answer 2

If you need it explained I can do that :)

Answer 3

yes please

Answer 4

Happily most people just want answers!!! Hold on just one second

Answer 5

Alright thank you

Answer 6

Point-slope form looks like: \[(y-y _{1})=m(x-x _{1})\] where m=slope and \[(x _{1},y _{1})\] is the point given. So all you need to do is plug in the info they gave you.
\[y-(-1)=-2(x-5)=y+1=-2(x-5)\]

Answer 7

Oh im so slow. But thank you for explaining it for me

Answer 8

No problem! I had to look up which one was point-slope form because I haven't seen it in a while.
