PLEASE HELP What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -4) and has a
slope of ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a point (4, -4) and the slope of the line that passes through it, m = -⁵/2, we can generate an equation by using the point-slope form equation of a line given as y - b = m(x - a).

Where,

(a, b) = (4, -4)

m = -⁵/2

Plug in the values

y - (-4) = -⁵/2(x - 4)

y + 4 = (-5x + 20)/2

Multiply both sides by 2

2y + 8 = -5x + 20

Subtract both sides by 8

2y = -5x + 20 - 8

2y = -5x + 12

Divide both sides by 2

y = -⁵/2x + 12/2

(equation in slope-intercept form)

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

2nd one in the first row is correct
