Question

3. A line has a slope of -5 and passes
through (1, -1). Which is the equation
of the line in point-slope form?
A. y - 1 = -5(x + 1)
B. y - 5 = x-1
C. y+ 1 = -5(x - 1)
D. y + 1 = -5(x + 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope equation for line of slope m that passes through (x₀, y₀):

y-y₀ = m(x-x₀)

Apply your data.

y+1 = -5(x-1)
