Question

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (1,5) with a slope of-2

Answer 1

The equation of the line would be y = -2x + 7

Explanation:

In order to solve this, use the point and the slope in point-slope form. Then solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 1)

y - 5 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 7
