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 \(y - 5 = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } ( x + 1 )\)
