Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3,-1) and has a slope of

2/5. Put your answer in slope intercept

Answer 1

y = 2/5x + 1/5

Explanation:

First, plug in the slope.

y = mx+b

y = 2/5x + b

Then, plug in the point given, in order to find b.

-1 = 2/5(-3) + b

-1 = -6/5 + b

1/5 = b

So the final equation is:

y = 2/5x + 1/5
