Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described below.
Through- (-5,-3) , Slope = -2/5

The equation of the line is

Explanation:

Given that the line passes through the points (-5,-3)

The slope of the line is

We need to determine the equation of the line.

Equation of the line:

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

Let us substitute the points (-5,-3) and the slope in the above formula.

Thus, we have;

Simplifying, we get;

Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation, we get;

Hence, the equation of the line in slope - intercept form is
