Really confused with this question? I believe the answer is A, I subbed the values into the derived equation and then rearranged the equation. Am I correct?

close ... normal slope is -1/2

use the point-slope form with the given point. watch your signs

No, I'm not confused.

But you are (just a little, I imagine). Please show your work so we can see where you made a little error! Also, tell us what made you unsure. Was it that (1,5) is not a solution of equation A? (That's a good check to do.)

Ok, I've re-worked it out and now I got 2y+x=11?

Yes that's correct!

Choice A is a very bad choice (sorry) because the point (1,5) is not even on the line for choice A.
