Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point(-5,-4) and has a slope of -3/5?

Answer 1

Answer:

y= mx+c

-4= -3/5(-5) + c

-4= -3/5 *-5+ c

-4=3+c

-4-3=c

-7=c

therefore the equation of the line is y=-3/5x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line is

y=mx +c

where y is the y coordinate

where m is the slope

where x is the x coordinate

where c is the y- intercept
