Question

Choose the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (2, 6) and has a slope of −5.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-5x+16$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a line in point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$point\ (2,6)\\m=-5$

substitute the values

$y-6=-5(x-2)$ ----> equation in point slope form

Convert to slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

Distribute the right side

$y-6=-5x+10$

Adds 6 both sides

$y=-5x+10+6$

$y=-5x+16$
