Question 2 • 26/27 ALGEBRA II A

The equation of a line in point-slope form isy – 5 = 3(x + 1). A point that lies on this line is .

Answer
A
(–1, 5)
B
(1, –5)
C
(1, 5)

Explanation

The equation is in point-slope form, y − y₁ = m(x − x₁), so it identifies the point (x₁, y₁) = (−1, 5). Substituting x = −1 makes the right side 3(−1 + 1) = 0, so y = 5. Therefore, (−1, 5) lies on the line.
