The graph of a line has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (–6, –5). What is the equation of the line in point-slope form? y – 5 = 2(x – 6)
y + 5 = 2(x + 6)
y – 6 = 2(x – 5)
y + 6 = 2(x + 5)

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
