A line passes through the point (-1,-5) and has a slope of -5.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Sagot :

hello!

We're given a point that the line intersects and its slope.

Let's use Point-slope:-

[tex]\boxed{y-y1=m(x-x1)}[/tex]

y1 = -5

m=-5

x1=-1

[tex]\boxed{y-(-5)=-5(x-(-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{y+5=-5(x+1)}[/tex]

Convert to slope-intercept:-

[tex]\boxed{y+5=-5x-5}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{y=-5x-5-5}[/tex]

Finally,

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{y=-5x-10}}[/tex]
