Question

Graph a line with a slope of -2/5 that contains the point (-3,5)

Answer 1

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}$

Further explanation:

We have to find the equation of the line first to graph the line.

The general form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

$y=mx+b$

Given

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

Putting the value of slope in the equation

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+b$

To find the value of b, putting the point (-3,5) in equation

$5=-\frac{2}{5}(-3)+b\\5=\frac{6}{5}+b\\5-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=\frac{25-6}{5}\\b=\frac{19}{5}$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}$

The graph is made by using online graphing tool Desmos.
