Question

Write the line (-5,-6) with slope 2/5 in point-slope form

Answer 1

`y+6=(2)/(5) (x+5).`

Explanation:

1) the common form of the point-slope form is y-y₁=s(x-x₁), where s - the slope, (x₁;y₁) - the point belongs to the required line;

2) if s=2.5; x₁= -5; y₁= -6, then the required equation is:

y+6=2/5(x+5).
