Answer 1

Please help me

Answer 2

@KlOwNlOvE

Answer 3

use the general form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

Answer 4

Okay

Answer 5

so you plug in x = 5,y = -3 and m = -1.25
and simpify

Answer 6

Im sorry im bad at math Do i need to divide ??

Answer 7

Im stupid im sorry but i am

Answer 8

y - (-3) = -1.25(x - 5)

i just replaced x ,y and m by -3,5 and -1.25

Answer 9

that gives y + 3 = -1.25x + 6.25
now subtract 3 from both sides of the '=' to get the equation in the form you require

Answer 10

No ones "stupid" just others have more practice in that field than others and thanks @cwrw238

i got 3.25

Answer 17

yes now whats your new equation?

Answer 18

should be in y=mx+b form
