Question

What is a point slope equation of the line with slope - 13 that goes through

the point (5,7)?
O A. y+7=-13(x+5)
O BY+5=-13(x+ 7)
OG 1-7=-13(x - 5)
O D. y-5=-13(x-7)

Answer 1

C. y - 7 = -13(x - 5)

Explanation:

The point-slope equation for a straight line is

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where m is the slope and(x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.

If m = -13 and (5, 7) is the point, the equation is

y - 7 = -13(x - 5)
