- 5 in
point-slope form?
BBB cccA.
cy +
53 = 5(
x + 2)
B.
cy +
53 = 5(
x - 2)
C.
cy -
53 = - 5(
x - 2)
D.
cy +
53 = - 5(
x - 2)

D
Step 1: The equation of the line passing through the point (x1, y1) with slope m is y - y1 = m(x - x1).
Step 2: [Substitute x1 = 2, y1 = - 53 and m = - 5 .]y - (- 53) = - 5(x - 2)
Step 3: [Simplify the equation.]y + 53 = - 5(x - 2)
Step 4: The equation of the line in point-slope form is y + 53 = - 5(x - 2).
