Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,-3)(−5,−3) and has a slope of -1−1?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through x = -5 and y = -3 and has a slope of -1.  We can use this info in the point-slope form of a line to write an equation:

y - (-3) = -1(x - (-5)) and

y + 3 = -1(x + 5) and

y + 3 = -x - 5 so

y = -x - 8

That's the equation!
