The point-slope form of a line that has a slope of –2 and passes through point (5, –2) is shown below. what is the equation in slope-intercept form?

  y = -2x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to write the equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) in point-slope form is ...

  y = m(x -h) +k

In this form, the equation of the line is ...

  y = -2(x -5) -2

Eliminating parentheses and collecting terms puts this in slope-intercept form:

  y = -2x +8

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
