The graph of a line has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (–6, –5). What is the equation of the line in point-slope form?
(Points : 4)
y – 6 = 2(x – 5)
y + 6 = 2(x + 5)
y – 5 = 2(x – 6)
y + 5 = 2(x + 6)

The graph of a line has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (–6, –5). What is the equation of the line in point-slope form? 
(Points : 4)
       y – 6 = 2(x – 5)
       y + 6 = 2(x + 5)
       y – 5 = 2(x – 6)
       y + 5 = 2(x + 6)

Use the general equation y=mx+b, then substitute in variables x and y from the point to find b.

i tried that

or here maybe

y-y1= m(x-x1) just plug in the values
y1=-5
x1=-6
m=2

be careful of the signs

y-(-5) = 2(x-(-6)) 
or????
