Lesson 3.2: Writing Two-Variable Linear Equations

Question 1 • (OC27) MATH COLL ALGEBRA-1200710-S1-Degele-VOL7006P

Which of the following equations represent a line that has a slope of –5 and that passes through (2, –6)? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
y + 6 = –5(x – 2)
B
y – 2 = –5(x + 6)
C
y = –5x + 4
D
y = –5x – 28

Explanation

A uses point-slope form with slope –5 and the point (2, –6): y – (–6) = –5(x – 2). Simplifying gives y = –5x + 4, which is choice C. Choice B uses the point (–6, 2), and choice D gives y = –38 when x = 2, so neither passes through (2, –6).
