Question

what is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5 -2) and has a slope of 3/5 ? HELP ASAP

Answer 1

y =
`(3)/(5)` x + 1

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m =
`(3)/(5)` , then

y =
`(3)/(5)` x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 5, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 =
`(3)/(5)` (- 5) + c = - 3 + c ( add 3 to both sides )

1 = c

y =
`(3)/(5)` x + 1 ← equation of line
