Use the Given Conditions to Write an Equation for the Line

question 68

Multiple Choice

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
-Passing through $( 1 , - 5 )$ with $x$ -intercept $= - 1$

• A) \(y - 5 = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x + 1 )\) or \(y = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x + 1 )\)
• B) \(y + 5 = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x - 1 )\) or \(y = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x + 1 )\)
• C) \(y + 5 = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x - 1 )\) or \(y = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x - 1 )\)
• D) \(y - 1 = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } x\) or \(y - 5 = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x + 1 )\)

Blood Pressure

The pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, often measured for diagnosis since it is related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
