Question

Fine the equation of the line with slope -2 and passing through (1,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line with slope -2 and passing through (1,-5) is $y+2x=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

• The line can be represented by the equation with 2 variables a and y.
• The equation of the line with slope and point is represented by

          $(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$ where(x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope.

Step 1 of 1:

• The slope of the equation is -2
• The point through which the line is passing is (1,-5)
• The equation of the line is given by

          $(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\ (y-(-5))=-2(x-1)\\(y+5})=-2x+2 \\ y+2x=-3$

Conclusion:

The equation of the line with slope -2 and passing through (1,-5) is $y+2x=-3$
