Answer:
The equation of the line is 5x + y + 19 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line with slope 'm' and given a point (x₁, y₁) passing through it we use the Slope - one - point form which is given by:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
The point given is: (-3, -4) and the slope is -5.
We get the equation of the line to be:
y - (-4) = -5(x - (-3))
⇒ y + 4 = -5(x + 3)
⇒ y + 4 = -5x - 15
⇒ 5x + y + 19 = 0. is the required equation of the line.
