A y-1=-5(x,-2)
B y+1=5(x+2)
Cy+1=-5(x-2)
Dy -1=5(x+2)

Answer 3

The formula for point slope form is \[y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})\]

Answer 4

So can you plug in your given numbers into that equation?

Answer 5

I can try , I am not the best at theses things...

Answer 6

Give it a try. :-)

Remember that it gives you the points (2, -1) and points are (x, y).

and m = slope. which it gave you

Answer 7

I think it is C. @simplymarie_x

Answer 8
