Question

Which equation in point slope form describes the line that passes through (3,-5) and has a slope of 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 5 = 2(x - 3)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (3, -5)

Slope m = 2

Step 2: Write equation

Substitute in variables into the general form.

y + 5 = 2(x - 3)
