Question

Which of the following is the point-slope form of a line with slope -3 passing through (1, 2)?
(4 Points)


y - 2 = -3(x - 1)

y = -3x + 5

y + 3 = (x - 1)

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Answer 1

Correct answer: y - 2 = -3(x - 1)

Reason: Point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1). With m = -3 and point (1,2) this gives y - 2 = -3(x - 1).
