Question

Use the coordinates of the labeled point to find the point slope equation of the line

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $y + 1 = -2(x - 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form equation is given as $y - b = m(x - a)$, where,

(a, b) = a point of the graph.

m = slope of the graph

Find the slope of the graph:

Slope = $\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$

Using the point (2, -1) and the slope, m, = -2, we can derive the equation in point-slope form by substituting a = 2, b = -1, and m = -2 into $y - b = m(x - a)$.

✅The equation would be:

$y - (-1) = -2(x - 2)$

$y + 1 = -2(x - 2)$
