Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,−5) and has a slope of 1/5

Answer 1

y= 1/5x -6

Explanation:

Use point-slope form (could be wrong name): y-y1= slope(x-x1)

Substitute in the numbers: y-(-5)= 1/5(x-5)

Distribute: y+5= 1/5x-1

Solve for final answer: y= 1/5x -6

PS write 1/5 as
`(1)/(5)`
