Question

A line with a slope of 2/5 passed through the point (-2,3). Write the equations of the line in point-slope form and graph the line

Answer 1

y - 3 = (2/5)(x + 2)

Explanation:

Start with the general point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h). Now substitute -2 for h and 3 for k, and also 2/5 for m:

y - 3 = (2/5)(x + 2)
