Question

Which is the point-slope form of an equation for the line that passes through (0, –5) with slope 2?

Question 7 options:

a)

y = 2(x + 5)


b)

y = 2x – 5


c)

y – 5 = x – 2


d)

y + 5 = 2x

Answer 1

y+5 = 2x

Explanation:

The point slope form of an equation is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y - -5 = 2(x-0)

y+5 = 2x
