Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.

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

Answer 1

-3?

Answer 2

@paki wait paki, does standard form means (y-y1) = m(x-x1)

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

alright thanks. ax+by=c

Answer 5

oh, then no need to find be

y+2 = 2/5 (x-5)

Answer 6

b**

Answer 7

thank you @paki

Answer 8

2x + y = -2?

Answer 9

just put it in standard form

Answer 10

oh, if you simplify it.
(2/5)x -y = 4

Answer 11

and if you want to get rid of the fraction.

that equation is also the same as

5 ( (2/5)x -y= 4 )
2x -5y = 20

Answer 12

The space it gives me is _x_ _y _ _ _ _ _ The answer has to fit in there

Answer 13

each _ is a number value right?

Answer 14

Yeah

Answer 15

I don't think there can be a fraction though

Answer 16

Thats why I'm so confused

Answer 17

then how would you put in your old answer 2x+y= -2? You still have blank spaces.

Have you tried typing in 2x -5y = 20 then hit enter?

Answer 18

I think that's the only way, without fractions.
You can use decimal places to fill up the space too.

Answer 19

That might work actually I'll let you know if its right thank you
