Write an equation of the line that passes through the given points and has the given slopes. (10,-4)slope -2/5

1 answer

using point-slope form:
y + 4 = (-2/5)(x - 10)

y-intercept , slope form
y = mx + b
y = (-2/5)x + b
but (10,-4) lies on it, so ...
-4 = (-2/5)(10) + b
-4 = -4 + b
b = 0

y = (-2/5)x
