Explanation:
Recall that the general point-slope form is [tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex] where m is the slope and [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] is the point the line goes through. We see that the 2 and the m match up, so m = 2 is the slope.
Side note: We can rewrite that given equation into y - (-5) = 2(x - (-1)) to see that the line goes through the point (-1, -5)
Answer:
C: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 5 = 2x + 2 (distribute 2)
y = 2x -3 (subtract 5 from both sides)
2x means: slope times x
