Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

To find the unknown point on the line given the slope and the point (-5, 10), we can use the slope formula. The slope m m of a line passing through two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is given by:

m=y2y1x2x1 m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

2. Relevant Concepts

We have:

  • Given point: (5,10)(-5, 10)
  • Slope (m m ) = -2
  • Point to find: (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2)

Assuming (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is the unknown point we want to determine, we can set up the equation using the slope formula.

3. Analysis and Detail

Substituting the known values into the slope formula:

2=y210x2+5 -2 = \frac{y_2 - 10}{x_2 + 5}

Now we can express y2y_2 in terms of x2x_2:

2(x2+5)=y210 -2(x_2 + 5) = y_2 - 10 2x210=y210 -2x_2 - 10 = y_2 - 10 y2=2x2 y_2 = -2x_2

4. Verify and Summarize

We can substitute this expression back to confirm consistency with the slope. Assuming x2=0 x_2 = 0 for simplicity, calculate y2 y_2 :

y2=20=0 y_2 = -2 \cdot 0 = 0

Thus, one possible line point could be (0,0)(0, 0).

Final Answer

If we take into account all provided options and the calculations, the answer should be determined by substituting into the slope equation accordingly and can yield multiple values depending on chosen x2 x_2 . However, none of the options provided are definitive without more specific information tied to particular values for either x2 x_2 or y2 y_2 .
