What is the equatiqn of the line that passes through the point (-5, 4) and has a
slope of -3/5?

y = -3/5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a point and the slope so all we need to solve for is the y-intercept and we can do that by using the slope intercept form formula [ y = mx + b ] where m = slope and  b = y-intercept.

4 = -5(-3/5) + b

4 = 3 + b

1 = b

With the information we know, we can input the values into the formula once again.

y = -3/5x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
