Question

What is the equation in standard form of the line which passes through (1, -3) and has a slope of 2?
a. 2x - y = 5
b. 2x - y = -5
c. 2x + y = 5
d. 2x + y = -5

Answer 1

I'd suggest that you go through all the work of finding the equation, using the given data. The given slope is m=-2 and the line is known to pass thru the point (1,-3). Use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line. After that, you will be able to rearrange your result to be the same as one of the four given answer choices.

Answer 2

the answer is 2x + y = 5

Answer 3

Brooke, thank you, but it's VERY important that you and I help mommyteresea13 to find the equation of this line herself. Please do NOT just give away answers, OK? Guide. Suggest. No answers, please.
