SOLUTION: In standard form, solve y+4=-2/5(x-1). I am confused by the -2/5. I solved the problem like this: y+4= (5)(-2/5)(x-1) (5)(y+4)=-2(x-1)

Question 376003: In standard form, solve y+4=-2/5(x-1). I am confused by the -2/5. I solved the problem like this: y+4= (5)(-2/5)(x-1)
(5)(y+4)=-2(x-1)
5y+20=-2x+2
5y+20-20=-2x+2-20
5y=-2x-18
2x+5y=-18
Is this the right answer? Thank you!
