Question

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

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

x1 = -3, y1 = -5 and m = -2/5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

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

Multiply each term by 5

5y + 15 = -2(x + 5)

5y + 15 = -2x - 10

5y = -2x - 10 - 15

5y = -2x - 25

Answer 2

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