Answer:

y = -3x - 11

Explanation:

Enter values in point slope formula y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 4 = -3 ( x + 5 )

Distribute the -3. y - 4 = -3x - 15

Add 4 to both sides. y = -3x - 11

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = -3x - 11

Explanation:

Use the formula y = mx + b to write an equation, where:

y = y-coordinate of point

x = x-coordinate of point

m = the slope

Plug in the known coordinates and slope:

4 = -3(-5) + b

Simplify:

4 = 15 + b

4 - 15 = b

-11 = b

Rewrite the equation:

y = -3x - 11
