Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -5) with a
slope of -3. (1 point)

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please share the answer choices.

Use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is the given point and m the given slope:

y - (-5) = -3(x - 2)      Here we have substituted -5 for k, 2 for h and -3 for m.

y + 5 =    -3x + 6

or

     y = -3x + 1

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
