Question

Y-4=-5 (x+3) in point slope form

Answer 1

The answer is C, slope = -5; point = (-3, 4). 

The point slope form of a line is y - y₁ = m (x - x₁), with (x₁, y₁) being the coordinates of one of the points of a line. Here, the first step is to find out what the slope is. The slope is the value in front of (x + 3), which is -5. Now we need to find the coordinates of the point. Since -y₁ is equal to -4, the coordinate of the y value is 4. Now onto the x value. Since -x₁ = 3, the coordinate of the x value is -3. That means that the answer is C, slope = -5; point = (-3, 4).
