Question

What is the point slope equation of the line that has a slope of -5 and goes through the points (-4,9)

Answer 1

The equation for the point-slope form is y - y1= m(x-x1), where m is the slope. Using the coordinates and slope given, y - 9 = -5(x-(-4)), which simplifies to
y - 9 = -5(x + 4)
