Answer:


Explanation:

Comparing the given y-4=-2/5(x-1) with the standard point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line, we get

y-4=-2/5(x-1)

y-k = (-2/5)(x - 1). Thus, k = 4 and h = 1, and so one point on this new line is (1, 4).

The slope is -2/5.

First, plot a dark dot at (1, 4).

Next, starting with your pencil point on that dot, move your point 5 units to the right and then 2 units down. Plot a dark dot there.

Finally, draw a line through your two dark dots.
