Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. (5,-4); m = -1

y + 4 = - (x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 1 and (a, b) = (5, - 4) , then

y - (- 4) = - 1 (x - 5) , that is

y + 4 = - (x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form equation is written as:

where m is the slope and is the point which the line passes through  so to to find the equation of line which passes through the point

(5 , -4) it means the point should satisfy the equation which furthermore means that the point lies on the lie so we can replace y1 with -4 and x1 with 5 and since we have m = -1 we can thus find b and rewrite the equation like this:

since we need it point-slope form we leave it like this

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
