the slope of the line below is -5 which of the following is the point-slope form of the line (2,-8)

A. y - 8 = 5 (x + 2)

B. y + 8 = -5 (x - 2)

C. y - 8 = -5 (x + 2)

D. y + 8 = 5 (x - 2)

Respuesta :

The point slope form has the following syntax.

[tex] y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]
m = slope = -5 
[tex]y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)[/tex]
(x,y) = (2,-8)
[tex]x_1 = 2[/tex]
[tex]y_1 = -8[/tex]
[tex]y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)[/tex]
[tex] y - (-8) = -5(x - 2)[/tex]
[tex] y + 8 = -5(x - 2)[/tex]  <------Answer
