Explanation:
Solition:
Let the line passes through the point (-4,-8) be (x1,y1) i.e. x1= -4 and y1 = -8 .
Slope(m) = 5/2
The required equation of the line passing through the point (-4,-8) is
y-y1 =m(x-x1)
or, y-(-8) = 5/2 (x-(-4))
or, y+8 = 5/2 (x+4)
or, 2(y+8) = 5(x+4)
or, 2y+16 = 5x +20
or, 16-20= 5x-2y
Therefore, 5x-2y = -4 .
