Answer:

3.)
\displaystyle y - 4 = 4[x - 1]

2.)
\displaystyle y + 5 = 2[x + 2]

1.)
\displaystyle y + 3 = 1(1)/(5)[x + 5]

Explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula,
\displaystyle y - y_1 = m[x - x_1],all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.

*
\displaystyle 1(1)/(5) = (6)/(5)

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
