Question

What is the standard form equation of the line passing through (1, –5) with a slope of –1?

Answer 1

use point slope form \[\huge y - y_1 = m (x - x_1)\]
where m is the slope
x1 is the x coordinate
y1 is the y oordinate

does that help?

Answer 2

would it look like this ?
5=-1(1)

Answer 3

close.. y + 5 = -1(x-1)

dont omit y and x they are VERY important

Answer 4

now simplify that

Answer 5

y+5=-x+1
?

Answer 6

x+y=-4
?
