secret66 · Answer

$$y - y^1 = m(x - x^1) $$  $$y-6=2(x+6)$$

anonymous · Answer

wrong

anonymous · Answer

"Incorrect. The correct answers are 2 and –6."

susanna · Answer

@secret66 was right. He just plugged in 2 for m-the slope, and -6 for -x, which would make a positive 6.

anonymous · Answer

But the bottom line is. It wasn't. 6.

susanna · Answer

the equation is y-y=m(x-x)
If you plug in a negative number for x, it becomes positive.
y-6=2(x-(-6)) and two negatives make a positive.
