Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1,-5)

There are infinitely many lines passing through (-1,-5), one for every possible value of the slope, .

Using the point-slope formula

You have

So, once you choose a value for m, you have your specific line. Without specifying it, this is the best you can do: write down the pattern of all lines passing through the point, with a generic slope

a
