Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.

D(5, -2) m = (2/5)

Answer 1

In point slope form: (y-y1)=m(x-x1) we have:

y+2=(2/5)(x-5) we want standard form ax+by=k when we finish so:

y+2=(2x-10)/5

5y+10=2x-10

5y+20=2x

2x-5y=20 now it is in standard form...
