Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,5) and has a slope of -5/4?

Answer 1

Explanation:

y-y1=m (x - x1)

m is the slope

(x1, y1) is the point

(-4, 5) are the points

-5/4 is the slope

so the equation

Answer 2

y - 5 = (-5/4)(x + 4)
y - 5 = (-5/4)x - 5
y = (-5/4)x + 0

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,5) and has a slope of -5/4 is y = (-5/4)x.
