Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y - 2 = -4(x + 5).

Explanation:

Use the point-slope equation:
y-y_1=m(x-x_1).

Substitute the point (-5, 2) and the slope m = -4 into the equation.


  • y-(2) = -4(x - (-5))

  • y-2=-4(x+5)

If we stop here, this is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
