Question

find an equation of line with slope -3/5 and goes through point (1,0) write equation using function notation

Answer 1

Say we have m = -3/5 passing thru pt (1,0).
Using point-slope form, we have.
\[y-y _{1} = m (x-x _{1})\]
Substituting the values, we'll have
\[y-0 = \frac{ -3 }{ 5 } (x-1)\]
Since we are required to write the equation using function notation, we'll let f(x) = y
Hence:
\[f(x) = \frac{ -3 }{ 5 } (x-1)\]

Answer 2

so would it be that or would you go a step further and put
f(x)=-3/5x+1

Answer 3

That would be better indeed. :))

Answer 4

ok thank you!
