Answer: y = -5x/3 - 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope and point form is given as
y - [tex]y_{1}[/tex] = m(x - [tex]x_{1}[/tex])
where m is the slope
[tex]x_{1}[/tex] = 2
[tex]y_{1}[/tex] = -3
m = -5/8
Substituting into the formula , we have
y - ( -3 ) = -5/8 ( x - 2 )
y + 3 = -5x/8 + 5/4
This could also be written in slope - intercept form , that means we will make y the subject of the formula
y = -5x/8 + 5/4 - 3
y = -5x/3 - 7/4
