Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(-3,-5);m= -2/5

Answer 1

Point-slope form: y + 5 = (-2/5) × (x + 3)

Explanation:

m = (-2/5); (-3, -5)

(x₁, y₁)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

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

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

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

-5 -5

-------------------------------

y = (-2/5)x - (31/5)

I hope this helps!
