Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, -3) and has a
slope of 2/5?

Answer 1

Answer: y= 2/5x - 5

Explanation:

To use this we will put the equation in point slope form

y-y1 = m (x-x1) (y1 and x1 and points where the line passes through)

y + 3 = 2/5(x - 5)

y + 3 = 2/5x - 2

y = 2/5x - 5
