Question 1011617
.
Find the equation of the locus when:

The distance of P from the line x = -3 is two fifths of its distance from the line y = -1.

I do not have trouble solving it, but i want an explanation on how the slope is 5/2

If you want to get good understanding, then solve this re-formulated problem:

   "The distance of P from the line x = 0 is two fifths of its distance from the line y = 0."

If you solve it, then you will easily solve the original problem.

Then please let me know if you managed it.

Good luck!
