Question

Write the point slope form of the equation of the line through the given slope through (5,3) ,slope =-1/5

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-3= -\frac{1}{5}(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Fill in what you know: ($y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b$)
• Solve for b with test point (5, 3): ($3=-\frac{1}{5}*5+b$)

• $b=4$

• Convert to point-slope form: $y-3= -\frac{1}{5}(x-5)$

Answer 2

Answer:

y-3= -1/5(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope form is --> y-y,=m(x-x,)

commas represent 1's.

so

-1/5= m

3=y,

5=x,
