Question
Find an equation of the line with the given slope and containing the given point. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.Slope $-\frac{1}{5} ;$ through $(4,-6)$
Step 1
We are given that the slope $m$ is $-\frac{1}{5}$, so we can substitute this into the equation to get $y = -\frac{1}{5}x + b$. Show more…
