Question 1019285: write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
(-3,-7) m=-6/5 Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
m = -6/5
(a,b) = (-3,-7)
Using line equation
y - b = m(x - a)
y - (-7) = -6/5(x - (-3))
y + 7 = -6/5(x + 3)
y + 7 = -6/5x - 18/5
y = -6/5x - 18/5 - 35/5 (-7)
y = -6/5x - 53/5
OR multiply through by 5
5y = -6x - 53
Hope this helps :-)
