Question

Write the slope -intercept form of the equation of the line with slope m=2/5 and passes through the point (5,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2/5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is slope intercept

m=slope so m=2/5

y=2/5x+b

then plug in coordinates of x and y (5,-1)

-1=2/5(5)+b

-1=2+b

-2+(-1)=b

b=-3

y=2/5x-3
