Question

The slope of the line below is 2. Which of the following is the point-slope form

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) . since the slope is 2 and not -2, you can automatically eliminate choices A and C. since the y-value in the point, (1,-1), is -1, you will add it to y because you are subtracting a negative. (- - = +) therefore, the final equation, in point-slope form, is y+1=2(x-1), or answer choice D.

Answer 2

Y-(-1) = 2(x-1)

Y+1 = 2x-2

Y= 2x-3

Hope this helps!
