Which equations represent the line?

Choose all answers that are correct.

A.
-5x + y = -6

B.
5x + y = -6

C.
(y - 4) = -5(x + 2)

D.
(y + 4) = -5(x - 2)

Answer 1

Point-slope formula
m=slope, and point \((x_1,y_1)\) on the line
\(\large y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)

Answer 2

slope = -5
(-2,4)

Answer 3

Another way is to plug in the point into each answer choice and see if it works.

Answer 4

the first two answer choices are in standard form i think, and the second are in point-slope form

Answer 5

but anyway, the easiest way to find the answer(s) is to plug in

Answer 6

thanks @StudyGurl14

Answer 7

yep :)
