Given that the line passes through the point (-4,-1) and has a slope of
(5)/(4)

We need to determine the equation of the line.

Equation of line:

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substituting the points (-4,-1) and the slope
(5)/(4) in the above formula, we get;


y+1=(5)/(4)(x+4)

Multiplying the terms, we get;


y+1=(5)/(4)x+5

Subtracting both sides by 1, we have;


y=(5)/(4)x+4

Thus, the equation of the line is
y=(5)/(4)x+4
