The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of a straight line that passes through the point (3, -5) with a slope of 2, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line. The point-slope form is given by: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is a point on the line and \( m \) is the slope. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Point \( (x_1, y_1) = (3, -5) \) - Slope \( m = 2 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the point-slope formula:** \[ y - (-5) = 2(x - 3) \] This simplifies to: \[ y + 5 = 2(x - 3) \] 3. **Distribute the slope on the right side:** \[ y + 5 = 2x - 6 \] 4. **Rearrange the equation to isolate \( y \):** \[ y = 2x - 6 - 5 \] Simplifying gives: \[ y = 2x - 11 \] 5. **Rearrange to standard form:** To convert to the standard form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \): \[ 2x - y - 11 = 0 \] ### Final Equation: The equation of the line is: \[ 2x - y - 11 = 0 \]
