Question

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
Point: (2, -5) Slope: -4/5


A. y - 5 = -4/5(x + 2)
B. y + 5 = -4/5(x -2)
C. y = -4/5 x - 2
D. y - 2 = -4/5(x - 5)

Answer 1

\[\huge\rm y -y_1 = m(x-x_1)\]
point slope form where m is slope and y_1 and x_1 values which is in order pair ( 2 ,-5)
\[\huge\rm (x ,y)\] so replace variables by their values
