Question

M=-4/5,(-7, - 2) Find the equation of the line that has the given slope

Answer 1

Answer:
`y=-(4)/(5)x-(38)/(5)`

Explanation:

To find the equation, you plug in the slope and given point. Then, you can solve and find the y-intercept.

`-2=-(4)/(5)(-7)+b` [multiply]

`-2=(28)/(5)+b` [subtract both sides by
`(28)/(5)`]

`b=-(38)/(5)`

Now that we have the y-intercept, the equation is
`y=-(4)/(5)x-(38)/(5)`.
