You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the standard form of the equation for a line is y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "*******************************************************************************
\n" ); document.write( "we are given m = -3/5 and point (-4, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/5)x + b
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of = by 5
\n" ); document.write( "5y = -3x + 5b
\n" ); document.write( "use point (-4, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 12 +5b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -12/5
\n" ); document.write( "equation for your line is
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/5)x - 12/5
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of = by 5
\n" ); document.write( "5y = -3x -12
\n" ); document.write( "**************************************************
\n" ); document.write( "3x +5y = -12
\n" ); document.write( "answer is b.
