Question

Use the point-slope formula (if possible) to write an equation of the line given the following

information.
The slope is - 5, and the line passes through the point (-2,0).
The equation of the line is?

Answer 1

y = -5 (x+2)

Explanation:

We can use the point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope

y-0 = -5(x--2)

y = -5 (x+2)
