Question

Which equation is the equation of the line, in point-slope form, that has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (−8, 1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The second one

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given info, the formula of the equation would be:

y = 2x + 17

When you expand the following options and put everything except the y on the right side, you get the second answer

Answer 2

Answer: y - 1 = 2 (x + 8)

Using slope- intercept formula:
y - 1 = 2(x - (-8)
y - 1 = 2 (x+8)
