Start with the point-slope form: 
.
Then you substitue in the slope and coordinates from the point:
You don't do a lot of clean up to the form, with the exception of turning "minus negative 7" into "plus 7".
Thar be yer answer!

Answer:
5, -9
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 5)(x + 9) = 0 These are factors, to get the roots, just set each one equal to zero
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
x + 9 = 0
x = -9
Answer:
-5n + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1. What is the difference?</u>
The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.
<u>2. Work out the term before the first term.</u>
The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.
3 + 5 = 8 Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)
<u>3. Put that term at the end of the equation. </u>
We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.
-5n + 8 This is our answer!
Just to prove it works:
<em>Substitute: n = term</em>
Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)
-5(3) + 8
-15 + 8 = -7
See, it works!
