Question

Write an equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of -2 and passes through (5, -1).

Answer 1

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

The answer is y= -2x +9

The point-slope formula is y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

m=the slope (-2) and the x₁ and y₁ are our given points

So now all we have to do is plug in and we get the equation y+1=-2(x-5)

That can be simplified to y = -2x +9
