Which of the following is the point and slope of the equation y - 15 = -2(x + 1)?



(-1, 15), -2



(-1, 15), 2



(1, 15), -2



(-1, -15), -2

Respuesta :

The first option is the point-slope form for the given point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

As we need to calculate the slope, m and coordinate we use the point-slope form to find m and the coordinate.

The point-slope form is [tex]\left(y-y_{1}\right)=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)[/tex],

the given equation is [tex]y-15=-2(x+1)[/tex].

Step 2:

By comparing both the equations, we determine the values of [tex]x_{1}, y_{1}[/tex] and m.

[tex]\left(y-y_{1}\right)= (y-15)[/tex], so the y coordinate is 15.

[tex]\left(x-x_{1}\right) = (x+1)[/tex], the x coordinate is; [tex]-x_{1} =1, x_{1} = -1[/tex], so the x coordinate is -1.

By comparing, we get m = -2.

So the slope is m = -2 and the coordinates of the point is (-1, 15) which is the first option.
