Question

Indicate the equation of the line through (2, -4) and having slope of 3/5.

Answer 1

_x__y=

Answer 2

y = mx + b is the "generic" equation of a straight line.
m = slope

So m = 3/5, and you have:
y = (3/5)x + b

Plug in (2, -4)

-4 = (3/5)(2) + b
-4 = 6/5 + b
-26/5 = b

So the equation is:
y = (3/5)x - (26/5)

Answer 3

but how do I make it fit in _x__y= ? @pasido
