Question

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (-1.2, -5.6) and has a slope of -2.9

Answer 1

Answer:

$y+5.6 = -2.9 (x + 1.2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of straight line in point slope form is given as

$y -y_1 = m(x- x_1)$  -------------(1)

Here

$m =-2.9$    and  $(x_1, y_1) = (-1.2, -5.6)$

Substituting values in equation (1)

$y+5.6 = -2.9 (x + 1.2)$
