Question 248642
To identify the slope, we must convert the equation into this form: {{{y=mx+b}}}
The value of m is the slope.


{{{y-5=-2(x+5)}}}


Steps to determine slope:
1.  multiply -2 by each term inside the parenthesis.
2.  add 5 on both sides of the equation.
3.  the coefficient of x is your slope.  Remember, when m = full number, it's the same as having that number over 1.  That is how you'll know what the rise/run is.


Steps to identify one point on the line:
1.  substitute an integer (any number) for the x in the equation.
2.  solve for y.
3.  the integer and the value of y would be your one point on the line.


I'll let you complete the problem.  If you follow the steps carefully, you will get your answers.
