Question
Given y-1=-5(x-2), ______ is the slope.
- 2
- 6
- -2
- -5
Hint:
Compare to y - y1 = m (x - x1)
here m is the slope of line
The correct answer is: -5
Given equation y - 1 = -5(x -2)
Step 1 : Compare to y - y1 = m (x - x1)
Step 2 : m is the slope
m= -5
So , -5 is the slope of the given line .
First term on right side of = is your slope given the equation in point slope form .
