Question

Mr. Shaw graphs the function f(x) = –5x + 2 for his class. The line contains the point (-2, 12). What is the point-slope form of the equation of the line he graphed?

a.) y – 12 = –5(x + 2)
b.) y – 12 = 2(x + 2)
c.) y + 12 = 2(x – 2)
d.) y + 12 = –5(x – 2)

Answer 1

\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 2

y1 = y coordinate of point
x1 = x coordinate of point
m = slope

Answer 3

where the y1 coordinate would be 12 and x1 would be -2. the slope is given in the beginning equation

Answer 4

okay so would the answer be B?

Answer 5

is the answer B?

Answer 6

mm close.. y=mx+b where (mx) is the slope...

Answer 7

the slope is -5

Answer 8

so A

Answer 9

Answer 11

yes
