Graph a line with a slope of -2/5 that contains the point (-3,5)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: identify the x1, y1 and slope
x1 = -3
y1 = 5
m(slope) = -2/5
Step 2: plug the points that you identified into the point slope form equation.
Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x-x1) ---> this is one of the general equation that will help you find the equation for a function when given a point and slope.
y - 5 = -2/5(x -(-3))
y - 5 = -2/5(x + 3)
y - 5 = (-2/5)x -6/5
y = (-2/5)x + 19/5
Step 3:
Plug in at least 2 points and graph them. You should get a graph similar to the one in the screenshot.
I hope this helps!
