Question

Complete the equation for the linear function whose graph contains the point (5, −3) and has a slope of −1.25.
y=___x+___

Answer 1

ok well you know the point slope formula right?

Answer 2

y-y1=m(x-x1) right?

Answer 3

using this formula plug in the numbers

Answer 4

y+3=-1.25(x-5) solve it

Answer 5

@redflame12 can you atleast try?

Answer 6

ok first u always distribute so 1.25xX=? then 1.25x-5=?

Answer 7

ok u get y+3=1.25x-6.25

Answer 8

then u add 3 to both sides and your answer would be y=1.25x-3.25
