Find the equation for the line that passes through (-4,-4) that has slope 2/5. Give your answer in point slope form. Do not simplify.

Answer 1

Using the point-slope form of a linear equation, the equation for the line passing through (-4, -4) with a slope of 2/5 is given by:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) = (-4, -4) and m = 2/5.

Substituting these values into the equation, we have:

y - (-4) = (2/5)(x - (-4))

y + 4 = (2/5)(x + 4)

Therefore, the equation of the line in point-slope form is y + 4 = (2/5)(x + 4).
