Hi
What is the equation of a line with a slope of -5 and containing point (2,4)?
*[tex \LARGE\ Using \ the \ standard \ slope-intercept \ form \ for \ an \ equation \ of \ a  \ line \ y = mx + b ] 
*[tex \LARGE\ where \ m \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ b \ the \ y-intercept]
  y = -5x + b   |using ordered pair pt(2,4) to solve for b
  4 = -10
 14 = b   | y = -5x+14  OR 5x+y = 14
