Question

PLZ HELP ASAP: Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope. D(5, -2) m =2/5

Answer 1

You can make use of the slope-intercept form of a line which is:
y = mx + b

Substitute m and the coordinates of a point in the line to find b,
-2 = (2/5) (5) + b
b = -4

The equation is
y = (2/5) x - 4

In standard form:
(2/5)x - y = 4
2x - 5y  = 4
