Question

What is the point-slope equation of the line with slope -12 that goes through the point (5, 3)?

 

A. y - 3 = 12(x - 5)

B. y + 3 = 12(x + 5)

C. y + 3 = -12(x + 5)

D. y - 3 = -12(x - 5)

Answer 1

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 3 = -12(x - 5)   This one is your answer. I just solved for y.

y - 3 = -12x + 60

y = -12x + 63
