Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-5,-4) with slope -3/5

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where (x₁, y₁) represents the coordinates of a point on the line and m represents the slope.

In this case, the point is (-5, -4) and the slope is -3/5. Plugging these values into the point-slope equation, we have:

y - (-4) = (-3/5)(x - (-5))

Simplifying the equation:

y + 4 = (-3/5)(x + 5)
