<h3>Answer: C) 2</h3>
Explanation:
Recall that the general point-slope form is where m is the slope and
is the point the line goes through. We see that the 2 and the m match up, so m = 2 is the slope.
Side note: We can rewrite that given equation into y - (-5) = 2(x - (-1)) to see that the line goes through the point (-1, -5)
Answer:
(c) y -2 = 6/5(x -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations are all in point-slope form with a slope of 6/5. The points used are (-1, -2), (-2, -1), and (1, 2). It seems point (1, 2) best matches a point on the graphed line. Choice C is the best. (In the attached graph, choice C is the red line.)

<em>Additional comment</em>
The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
__
The equation might be easier to see if the point chosen were one at a grid intersection, such as (-4, -4) or (6, 8).
