Question

How do you write an equation in point-slope form for the given (-3,-5) Slope: -5?

Answer 1

The point-slope form for the line with slope `-5` and point `(-3,-5)` is

`y+5=-5(x+3)`.

Explanation:

The general equation for the point-slope form of a linear equation is `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`, where `m` is the slope, and `(x_1,y_1)` is the known point.

Given
`m=-5`
Point=`(-3,-5)`

`y-(-5)=-5(x-(-3))` =

`y+5=-5(x+3)`
