Question

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope? Point: (-2,4) ; Slope: 5

A. y+4=5x-10

B. y+4=5(x+2)

C. y-4=5(x+2)

D.y-2=5(x-2)

Answer 1

(y−y1)=m(x−x1)

y1 = 4
m = 5
x1 = -2

Answer 2

point slope form is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
- where m = slope and (x1,y1) is the point on the line

Answer 3

so plug in the values that french has written and simplify the right side

Answer 4

- well - no need to simplify

Answer 5

once you plug in those values you should get
y-4=5(x+2)
