Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through (5, -2) and slope=2/5
I'm on a really tight time crunch...if someone could give me a quick way to do problems like these i would be eternally grateful

Answer 1

y=mx+c
m is the slope and c is the y intercept
so y=(2/5)x+c
now u have to find c
so u plug in the point u have (5,-2) in x and y

-2=(2/5)(5)+c
-2=2+c
c=-4
so the equation is
y=(2/5)x-4
