Question

Use the coordinates of the labeled point to find the point-slope equation of the line

Answer 1

Answer:

A. y + 1 = -2(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

point-slope equation is : y - y1 = m (x -x1)

remember m= slope value

the given point is (2, -1) therefore we can substitute the values in:

y + 1 = m(x -2)

now to make sure our answer is complete we will solve for the slope:

looking back at the graph, the y-intercept value is 3, therefore we have a point of (0,3) and (2, -1)

with any two points you can determine a slope.

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

therefore :

-1 -3 / 2 - 0

-4 / 2 = -2

therefore our m value is -2

this makes the completed point-slope equation:

y + 1 = -2 (x - 2) or A
