Question

What is the slope intercept form of the line passing through `(-1,2)` with a slope of `-2/5`?

Answer 1

Using the general line equation, y = mx + b you put the known data into the equation, solve for 'b' and then write the general equation.

Explanation:

2 = (-25)*(-1) + b ; b = -23

y = -25x - 23
