Question

Write an equation in point slope form given: slope, m, = -1/5 and point (5, -2).

Answer 1

\[-2-y _{1}=m(5-x _{1})\]

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1/5
(5,-2) x1 = 5 and y1 = -2
now we sub
y - 5 = -1/5(x - (-2)
y - 5 = -1/5(x + 2) <=== point slope form

Answer 4

wait...I messed up,,,hold on

Answer 5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-2) = -1/5(x - 5)
y + 2 = -1/5(x - 5)

Answer 6

sorry about that....I put the points in the wrong spot

Answer 7

answer is : y + 2 = -1/5(x - 5)

Answer 8
