Question 62116
find an equation for the line that contains the point (3,5) and has slope m=-4.
Express the equation in slope-intercept form.  This is slope intercept form: {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept.
: 
You have a point and a slope and need the equation of the line, use the Point slope formula: {{{highlight(y-y1=m(x-x1))}}}, where m=slope and (x1,y1) is the given point.
m=-4 and (x1,y1)=(3,5)
{{{y-5=-4(x-3)}}}
{{{y-5=-4x+12}}}
{{{y-5+5=-4x+12+5}}}
{{{highlight(y=-4x+17)}}} 
Happy Calculating!!!
