Question

Graph the line passing through the given point and having the given slope. Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line if possible.

(2,-3),m=-3/5

Answer 1

y = mx + b
-3 = -3/5(2) + b
-3 = -6/5 + b
-3 + 6/5 = b
-15/5 + 6/5 = b
(-15 + 6)/5 = b
(6 - 15)/5 = b
-9/5 = b

y = -3/5(x) - 9/5

y = (-3x - 9)/5
