how do solve a problem like (-5,-3); slope = -3/5 if i have to write the equation of the line with the given point and slope.

Respuesta :

The slope intercept form of the equation is y = -3/5x - 6

To solve this, we are going to use point slope form, which is listed below.

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

In this equation, m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the point. If you plug in and solve for y, you get the slope intercept form.

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

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

y + 3 = -3/5(x + 5)

y + 3 = -3/5x - 3

y = -3/5x - 6
