16x - 5y = -33 First, you subtract 16x from both sides of the
<u>-16x -16x </u> equation
<u>-5y</u> = <u>-16x -33</u> Next, you divide both sides of the equation by -5 to
-5 -5 make "y =" form
y = 16/5x + 33/5
The point-slope form of ay line is:
y-y1=m(x-x1), where m=slope and (x1,y1) is any point on the line.
In this case we are given that m=-12 and (x1,y1) is (5,3) so
y-3=-12(x-5)
Take out the gcf (5).
5(x+3)
The inner binomial cannot be factored.
Final answer: 5(x+3)
