Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Line l passes through Point (−4, 2) and has a slope of 1/5 What is the equation of Line l in standard form?

A) 5x-y=14

B) 5x-y=-22

C) x-5y=-14

D) x-5y=22

Answer 1

You will use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)
You know y1=2 and x1= -4 and m= 1/5.
So y-2=1/5(x+4)
y=1/5x + 14/5.
Get rid of the fractions and rearrange so x and y are on the same side.
5y-x=14. I don't see that on your answers, but I'm fairly certain I did everything right.
