Question

Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that passes through (2, –1) and has a slope of –5.
A.
(y – 1) = –5(x + 2)
B.
(y – 2) = –5(x – 1)
C.
(y + 1) = –5(x – 2)
D.
(y + 2) = –5(x – 1)

Answer 1

this one is just like the other one :)

Use the point -slope formula:
y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

We are given slope (m) = -5 and that it passes through ( 2 , -1) ---> this means x1=2 , y1 = -1
So substitute in m = -5 , x1 = 2 and y1 = -1 into the point-form formula :)

Answer 2

so would it be D?
