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

The constant before the x is the slope, and you can just plug in the x and the y. 6=-5(2)+16 6=6 all the other ones are incorrect if you plug them in

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y=-5x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the slope and point coordinates into point-slope form (attached in image)

(y-6)=-5(x-2)

1) Distribute -5 to x and -2:

y-6=-5x+10

2) Add 6 to both sides:

y=-5x+16
