Question

A line passes through the point (10, -7) and has a slope of -5/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Start with point slope form....

then re-arrange to slope intercept form ( y = mx+b)

(y- - 7) = -5/2 (x-10)

y+7 = - 5/2 x + 25

y = = - 5/2 x + 18
