Question 885109
m = -5/4 , point = (-1,3)


Point-slope form for the equation of a line is y - y1 = m(x - x1
m = slope
(x1 , y1) are the coordinates of the point


y - 3 = (-5/4)[x - (-1)] {substituted into point-slope form}
y - 3 = (-5/4)(x + 1) {simplified inside parentheses}
y - 3 = (-5/4)x - (5/4) {used distributive property}
y = (-5/4)x + (7/4) {added 3 to each side}
