Question

what is an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-5,-3) and has a slope of negative 1

Answer 1

y + 3 = - (x + 5)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 1 and (a, b ) = (- 5, - 3 ) , then

y - (- 3) = - 1 (x - (- 5) ) , that is

y + 3 = - (x + 5)

Answer 2

Y= -x-8
