A line has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (2, 2). What is the equation for this line?

1 answer:

4 0

To determine the equation of the line, we use the point slope form equation for this problem. It is expressed as:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We substitute the given values in the problem to the equation.

y - 2 = -5(x - 2)
y = -5x +10+2
y = -5x +12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-8(2b-7)-9(b-5)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\=(-8)(2b)+(-8)(-7)+(-9)(b)+(-9)(-5)\\\\=-16b+56-9b+45\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(-16b-9b)+(56+45)\\\\=-25b+101$
