Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−1, 5) and has a slope of 3 in point-slope form. (2 points)


x + 1 = 3(y − 5)
x − 5 = 3(y + 1)
y − 5 = 3(x + 1)
y + 1 = 3(x − 5)

Answer 1

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

plug in your numbers

Answer 3

as @aye_ciera said, we're going to use the point slope formula to write this equation.

m = slope
x1 = first point
y1 = second point

so our m is 3 and our ordered pair is (-1, 5)

so all we have to do is rewrite the equation with the points in it(and #'s)

y - (5) = 3(x + 1)

all we did is plug in the numbers for our equation.

So you're answer would be C. :3
