Question

Find the error below and then solve the problem correctly.

Answer 1

Answer:

• y = -1/5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Error is at step 2 and 3:

• Step 1: y - -4 = -1/5(x - 5)
• Step 2: y + 4 = -1/5x + 1        ⇒  (incorrect part is: y + 4 = -1/5x + 5)
• Step 3: y = -1/5x - 3              ⇒  (incorrect part is: y = 1/5x + 1)
