SOLUTION: Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope m: (5,-12), m = -2/5 (thats two over five) Would you please also

Question 820885: Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope m:
(5,-12), m = -2/5
(thats two over five)
Would you please also work out the problem so i know and understand how to do it in the future?
