Answer 4

2

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

A. (y + 2) = -2(x + 5)
B. (y - 2) = 2(x - 3)
C. (y - 3) = 2(x - 2)
D. (y + 3) = -2(x + 2)

Answer 7

so it's C right?

Answer 8

point-slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m is the slope of the line and )x1,y1) is a point on the line.

Answer 9

Oh so it's B?

Answer 10

(2,3) is a point on the line

y - 3 = 2* ( x -2) Is that an option.

Answer 11

Yeah that's option c. I was right :) thank you! :)

Answer 12

You are welcome.
