What is the equation of a line passing through (3, 4) and having a slope of -5?

Hi Welcome to openstudy :) Does the question specify what form it wants the line in? Point slope slope intercept?

OpenStudy (bellalopez):

it does not say anything else but the question i asked so ig not

pooja195 (pooja195):

Im gonna assume slope intercept thats how you would typically graph lines

pooja195 (pooja195):

y=mx+b m=slope so we have y=-5x+b Now take the given coordinates and plug them in for x and y 4=5(3) +b solve for b :)
