Since we have "an equation of the line passing through (-4, 4) with slope 5", we know that , and

Start with the general slope intercept equation.

Plug in , and

Multiply 5 and -4 to get -20

Add 20 to both sides.

Add.

So the value of 'b' is .

So and . Plug these values into to get

So the equation of the line with slope 5 which goes through (-4,4) is
