Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope
Through: (-5,3), slope=-3/5

Respuesta :

Given that,

Point = (-5,3)

Slope, m = -3/5

To find,

The slope intercept form of the equation of the line.

Solution,

The general form of equation is :

y = mx +b

We have, x = -5, y = 3

So,

[tex]3=\dfrac{-3}{5}(-5)+b\\\\3=-3+b\\\\b = 6[/tex]

The equation is :

[tex]y=\dfrac{-3}{5}x+6[/tex]

Hence, the required equation is [tex]y=\dfrac{-3}{5}x+6[/tex].
