The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
where (x₁, y₁) represents the coordinates of a point on the line and m represents the slope.
In this case, the point is (-5, -4) and the slope is -3/5. Plugging these values into the point-slope equation, we have:
y - (-4) = (-3/5)(x - (-5))
Simplifying the equation:
y + 4 = (-3/5)(x + 5)
Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-5,-4) with slope -3/5
