find and equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions. write the equation in standard form. Through (2,5); m= -2/5

Question

steps please I don't understands this one at all

Answer 1

For this question, you'll want to use point-slope form (since you're given a point and the slope). Point-slope form is:

 

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁),

 

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line. For you, slope m = -2/5 and point (x₁, y₁) = (2, 5). Plug those into the formula:

 

y - 5 = -2/5(x - 2)
