write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope
(-3,-5);m=-2/5
A.y+5=-2/5(x+3)
B.y+5=(-2/5)x-3
C.y-5=-2/5(x+3)
D.y-5=-2/5(x-3)

point slope form
(y-y1) = m(x - x1)
m is the slope (x,y) and (x1, y1) are any 2 points on the line

yes thankyou but i was trying to kind of understand the answers like how do i get my work yo match the answer? do you get me?
OpenStudy (triciaal):
given (-3,-5);m=-2/5
let this point be (x1, y1)
substitute these in the equation
OpenStudy (triciaal):
yes I get you that's why i was still typing.
now you understand the steps and get to use them

i see now thanks so all i ahve to do is substatute x and y with -3,-5
OpenStudy (triciaal):
now do you want to show what you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure
OpenStudy (triciaal):
what about m
