Question

Which equation in point-slope form contains the point (–3, 5) and has slope –1? y + 3 = –1(x – 5) y – 5 = –1(x + 3) y – 3 = –1(x + 5) y + 5 = –1(x – 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 5 = -1(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope and passing through point (x1 , y1)

In this case if the equation in point-slope form contains the point (–3, 5) and has slope –1 then the equation should be:

y - 5 = -1(x - (-3))

y - 5 = -1(x + 3)
