Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope. D(5, -2) m = 2/5

Answer 1

y +2 = 2/5 (x -5)

Answer 2

get that in the format of y = mx + b by distribution and isolating Y

Answer 3

they want it in a form like this _ x _ _ y _ _ _

Answer 4

ok - just isolate the variables x and y on one side - you still must distribute

Answer 5

lol how do i do that

Answer 6

by the way, the general formula for that is:

y -y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitute the slope, m = 2/5, and the points (x1,y1) = (5,-2) into the formula, then solve for y.

Don't forget to simplify properly.
