Question

The slope of the line below is -3.

Answer 1

The answer would be D because 5,-7 is a point on the line and -7 on the left side is on D and +5 is on the right for D. It also needs -3 as the slope, which is the 3 in front of (x+5) and it is negative which is also in answer D. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.

Answer 2

C; The point slope formula is (y-y1)=m(x-x1) m being the slope. If we plug in 5 for x2 ,-7 for y1 and -3 for the slope the equation will be y+7=-3(x-5). Y is is y+7 instead of y-7 because a negative times a negative is a positive.
