right the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope. through: (5,-5), slope=-6/5

Answer 1

y= -6/5x - 11

Explanation:

I would use point-slope form first, because you are given a point and a slope.

(y2 - y1) = m(x2 - x1)

(this is the point-slope form equation, where you take the first (x, y) point and subtract it by x and y)

(y - (-5)) = (-6/5)(x - 5)

(I plugged the point (5, -5) into the first point, shown by (x1, y1) )

y + 5 = -6/5x - 6

(I distributed through the parenthesis)

y = -6/5x - 11

(subtract 5 from both sides)
