The slope point form is
m is the slope
x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point on the line
The slope of the line is -1
m = -1
point (-5, -4) lies on the line
x1 = -5 and y1 = -4
Let us substitute them in the form above
Remember (-)(-) = (+)
The equation of the line in the slope-point form is y + 4 = -1(x + 5)
In this problem, you must use SohCahToa which basically means:
Sin - opposite over hypotenuse
Cosine - adjacent over hypotenuse
Tangent - Opposite over hypotenuse
So in this picture we have 4 -which is on the opposite side of x - and a 5 -which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. This means we must use sin.
Using a calculator you put in:
Your answer is 53.13 degrees
