What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,6) and has slope of 5?

A: y+2=5(x+6)
B: y-6=5(x-2)

Respuesta :

Firstly, you can use the slope and the first point to find a second point:
2 + 1 = x2 and 6 + 5 = y2 because the slope is 5/1. 
Next you can write the equation in point-slope form (remember point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1):
y - 11 = 5(x - 3) 
Another equation would be B because B is the correct equation if you choose 2 as x2 and 6 as y2. 
Hope this helps!

i know its b because i took the test
