The point-slope form of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.
Given the point J(3, -2) and the slope -5, the equation in point-slope form is:
y - (-2) = -5(x - 3)
Simplifying the equation:
y + 2 = -5x + 15
Putting the equation in standard form by moving -5x to the left:
5x + y = 15 - 2
Simplifying further:
5x + y = 13
Therefore, the equation in point-slope form of a line through point J(3, -2) with a slope of -5 is y + 2 = -5(x - 3).
