Answer 1

To complete the equation of a line in point-slope form, you use the formula:

\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

where \( m \) is the slope of the line, and \( (x_1, y_1) \) is a point on the line.

Given that the slope \( m = -0.2 \) and the point is \( (11, 5) \):

• \( x_1 = 11 \)
• \( y_1 = 5 \)

We can now fill in the blanks:

• Box a (y-coordinate, \( y_1 \)): 5
• Box b (slope, \( m \)): -0.2
• Box c (x-coordinate, \( x_1 \)): 11

So the completed equation in point-slope form is:

\[ y - 5 = -0.2(x - 11) \]

Thus:

• Box a: 5
• Box b: -0.2
• Box c: 11
