Question

find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point
m=4/5, (7, -2)
y=?

Answer 1

y = mx+b
y = 4/5(x) + b
substitute (7,-2) in the equation and find b
then y = mx+b is the line you are looking for

Answer 2

y = (4/5)x -(4/5)(7) -2

Answer 3

\[y = \frac{4x -38}{5}\]

Answer 4

\[y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{38}{5}\]
