Answer:

5x+2y = -24

Explanation:

We have the point (-4,-2) and a slope of -5/2.

Using the point-slope form of a line:

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

y- -2 = -5/2(x- -4)

y+2 = -5/2 (x+4)

Multiply each side by 2.

2(y+2) = -5(x+4)

2y+4 = -5x-20

Add 5x to each side.

5x+2y +4 = -20

Subtract 4 from each side.

5x+2y = -24
