What point slope form passes through the point (-2,-1) And has slope 5

Question

Answer options

A. (x+2)=5(y-1)

B. (x-2)=5(y+1)

C. (y-1)=5(x-2)

D. (y+1)=5(x+2)

Answer 1

This problem uses the equation:

 

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

 

Using the point (-2,-1), x=-2 and y=-1 and the slope given in the problem is m=5.

Plugging all this in gives:

 

(y-(-1))=5(x-(-2))  Simplifying, gives you

 

(y+1)=5(x+2) which is D.
