OpenStudy (studygurl14):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (narissa):

my answer is a and d but im not sure

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Sorry, that's incorrect. Remember that point slope formula remember has the x - x_1 part.

OpenStudy (narissa):

then its b and d?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

If it is x-x_1, and x_1 = -2....

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

two negatives make a positive, so it would end up being x + 2

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

its not D

OpenStudy (narissa):

only c then

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No. b is correct, and so is c

OpenStudy (narissa):

this is hard

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Let me show you. hold on a sec

OpenStudy (narissa):

k

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Slope = -5 Point: (-2, 4) Point-slope formula: \(\Large (y - y_1) = m(x-x_1)\) \(\Large (y-4) = -5(x-(-2))\rightarrow (y-4)=-5(x+2)\) That's answer choice C Now, do some rearranging... \(\Large y-4 = -5(x+2)\rightarrow y - 4 = -5x - 10 \) \(\Large \rightarrow 5x + y =-10+4\rightarrow 5x+y=-6\) That's B.

ok it seems kinda hard but maybe not idk i tried a couple myself but thanks for all your help u always explain stuff which makes it easier
