i needhelp to solve this it says write an equation of the the line through(-2,5)with a slope of 1/4 i tryed typing y-5=1/4(x--2) and i cant figure any thing out no matter hwo many times i read the instrutioncs

\n" ); document.write( "\"point-slope\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "you plugged in the given info:
\n" ); document.write( "y-5 = (1/4)(x-(-2))
\n" ); document.write( "y-5 = (1/4)(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "distribute the 1/4:
\n" ); document.write( "y-5 = (1/4)x + 2/4
\n" ); document.write( "y-5 = (1/4)x + 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "add 5 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/4)x + 1/2 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/4)x + 1/2 + 10/2
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/4)x + 11/2 (this is what they're looking for... in \"slope-intercept\" form)\r
