Question

Which equation correctly uses point (–2, –6) to write the equation of this line in point-slope form? Y – 6 = y minus 6 equals StartFraction 5 Over 2 EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 2 right parenthesis.(x – 2) y – 6 = negative StartFraction 2 Over 5 EndFraction. (x – 2) y + 6 = y plus 6 equals StartFraction 2 Over 5 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis.(x + 2) y + 6 = y plus 6 equals StartFraction 5 Over 2 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis.(x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard way of writing equation of a line in a point-slope form is as given;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope of the line

(x0,y0) is a point on the line.

Given the point (-2,-6), in order to determine with of the equation that correctly uses the point, we will substitute the point into the formula and get the necessary equation.

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

y - (-6) = m(x-(-2))

y+6 = m(x+2)

Since we are not given the slope, let's assume the slope is 5/2

The equation becomes y+6 =5/2(x+2). Option D is correct
