General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Slope m = 5/2

Point (-4, -5)

Step 2: Find y-intercept b

  1. Define: y = 5/2x + b
  2. Substitute in point: -5 = 5/2(-4) + b
  3. Multiply: -5 = -10 + b
  4. Isolate b: 5 = b
  5. Rewrite: b = 5

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 5/2x + 5
