The equation of the line in point-slope form is: C. y − 5 = −(x − 2).
<h3>What is the Point-Slope Equation of a Line?</h3>A line with a slope (m) and a point (a, b) is represented in point-slope form as, y - b = m(x - a).
Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. Find the slope of the line in the graph given as follows:
Slope (m) = rise/run = 3 units/3 units = 1
Negative reciprocal of 1 is -1.
The slope of the line would be m = -1.
Substitute m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, 5) into y - b = m(x - a) to wrote the equation:
y - 5 = -1(x - 2)
y − 5 = −(x − 2)
