Question

What is the point-slope form of an equation with the slope of 3/5 that passes through the point (10, –2)?

A. y – 2 = 3/5(x + 10)
B. y – 10 = 3/5(x + 2)
C. y + 2 = 3/5(x – 10)
D. y + 10 = 3/5(x – 2)

Answer 1

The point-slope form of the equation of a line of slope m through point (h, k) is

... y - k = m(x - h)

Substituting your given values, you get

... C. y + 2 = 3/5(x - 10)
