2. If the slope is 5 and the line passes through (-2, -3), what is the equation of the line in point-slope form? *

A. y + 3 = 5(x + 2)
B. y - 3 = 5(x + 2)
C. y + 3 = 5(x -2)
D. y -3 = 5(x - 2)

Point-slope form:  y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

(m is the slope, (x₁, y₁) is the point you are given that is on the line)

You know:

m = 5

(x₁, y₁) = (-2, -3)         So substitute/plug it into the equation

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-3) = 5(x - (-2))   (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

y + 3 = 5(x + 2)    Your answer is A

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
