Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (−2, −1) and has a slope of 5.

A.) y − 1 = 5(x − 2)
B.) y + 1 = 5(x + 2)
C.)y + 2 = 5(x + 1)
D.) y − 2 = 5(x − 1)

Answer 1

The equation of line going through a point (a,b) and has slope m is
y-b=m(x-a)

Answer 2

You can now find your choice

Answer 3

so a or d?

Answer 4

No
if a =-2, then (x-a)=(x+2)

Answer 5

If b=-1, then x-b=y+1
