Question

How do you write an equation of a line with point (-4, -2), slope -3/5?

Answer 1

`y = -3/5x -4 4/5`

This is in slope intercept form.

Explanation:

Use the formula specially for this scenario:

`y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)`

`y -(-2) = -3/5(x - (-4)`

`y+2 = -3/5x -12/5`

`y = -3/5x -2 2/5 -2`

`y = -3/5x -4 4/5`

This is in slope intercept form.
