Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,5) and has a slope of -3/5?

Answer 1

y= 8 + (-3/5)x is the equation of the line

Answer 2

y = -3/5x + 8

Explanation:

Step 1:

Plot your point and then use your slope to find another point on the graph.

Step 2:

Draw a line through the points

Step 3:

Find your y-int

y = mx + b where x and y are variables, m is the slope and b is the y-int

y = -3/5x + 8
