Question 1161519


the equation of the line, in standard form, that passes through ({{{2}}}, {{{-4}}}) and has a slope of {{{3/5}}}

the standard form of a line is in the form {{{Ax + By = C}}}

first use point slope form of equation:

{{{y-y[1]=m(x-x[1])}}}...plug in given data

{{{y-(-4)=(3/5)(x-2)}}}

{{{y+4=(3/5)x-2(3/5)}}}.....both sides multiply by {{{5}}}

{{{5y+20=3x-6}}}

{{{-3x+5y=-20-6}}}

{{{-3x+5y=-26}}}->the standard form of a line
