Answer 1

Answer: Which of the following is the correct point-slope equation for the line that passes through the point (-2, 5) and is parallel to the line given ...

Step-by-step explanation:The equation of the line would be d) y + 5 = -4(x - 2)

Answer 2

Answer:

  A. Y-5 = -8(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line has a slope of -8, which is the value of the x-coefficient.

The equation you're looking for will be of the form ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

For m=-8 and (h, k) = (-2, 5), the point-slope equation will be ...

  y -5 = -8(x +2) . . . . matches choice A
