Question

write the equation of a line with the given properties, in slope intercept form

slope= -5 through (-4,2)

Answer 1

y = -5x - 18

Answer 2

can you show me how u got that?
because i got y=-5x+22

Answer 3

Since you're given your slope and a point you can use the equation \[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\], where m is your slope and \[x_1\] and \[y_1\] are your coordinates of your point.

So subbing what you have into this equation you get \[y-2=-5(x-(-4))\] Bringing the -2 across gives you: \[y-2=-5x-20\] Bring the 2 across: \[y=-5x-18\]

Answer 4

y-y1=m(x-x)
y-2=-5(x-(-4)
y+2=-5x+20
y-2=-5x+02
y =-5x+22

Answer 5

oo okay- it's a negative sign-- i see

thanks
