Determine the equation of the line passing through the point below having the corresponding slope.
Point: ( - 25, -9)

Slope: m=1/5

Write your answer as an equation in the form
y = mx + b

y=1/5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first we're gonna put this into point slope form, (y-y1)=m(x-x1), then we'll convert it. When you plug the numbers in, you get (y+9)=1/5(x+25)

Then, you simplify!

y= 1/5(x+25)-9

y=1/5x+5-9

y=1/5x-4

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent
