Answer:
D. y = –2x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, write the equation of the line in point-slope form with the given information. Use the point-slope formula [tex]y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)[/tex] and substitute values for [tex]m[/tex], [tex]x_1[/tex], and [tex]y_1[/tex].
Since [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope, substitute -2 in its place. Since [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of (5,0) into the formula as well. This gives the following equation:
[tex]y - 0 = -2(x-5)\\y = -2(x-5)[/tex]
2) Expand the right side of the equation to find the answer:
[tex]y = -2(x-5)\\y = -2x+10[/tex]
So, option D is correct.
