Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5x - 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute into form of y - y1 = m(x - x1): (Take the point (-7,10) for x1 & y1, m would be the slope)

y - 10 = -5(x -(-7))

y - 10 = -5(x + 7)

y - 10 = -5x - 35

y = -5x - 25

Answer 2

Answer:

y= -5x-25

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line with points given =

y = mx + b

m = -5 , x = -7 , y = 10 while the intercept, b is not given, so we need to find that...

Therefore, we substitute the value for the given equation

10 = -5*-7 + b

10 = 35 + b

b = 10 - 35

b = -25

Therefore we substitute the value for m and b to the equation of line

y = -5x - 25
