what is the equation on the line in point-slope form that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point of (5,9)?

a. y + 5 = -3(x - 9)
b. y - 5 = -3 (x -9 )
c. y - 9 = -3 ( x -5 )
d. y + 9 = -3 ( x -5 )

Respuesta :

Answer:

c.   [tex]y-9=-3(x-5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer c is correct

Here m=-3 and (x1, y1)=(5,y)

Equation of straight line in point slope form is given as

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-9=-3(x-5)[/tex]
