Mr. shaw graphs the function f(x) = –5x + 2 for his class. the line contains the point (-2, 12). what is the point-slope form of the equation of the line he graphed?

F(x) = -5x + 2,   let f(x) = y

y = -5x + 2.   Comparing to y = mx + c, the slope m = -5,

The point (-2, 12) is the (x₁, y₁)

The point slope form is :

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁),    slope m = -5

y - 12 = -5(x - -2)

y - 12 = -5(x + 12)

f(x) - 12 = -5(x + 12)  is the point - slope form.

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
