Question

write the equation In point slope form of the line with slope 2/5 and passing through the point (-8,1)

Answer 1

Point-slope:

y-y1= m(x-x1)

Plug in what you know. 

y1= 1 and x1= -8

y-1= 2/5(x-(-8)
y-1= 2/5(x+8)

Distribute. 

y-1=.4x+ 3.2 <- that is the final answer

I hope this helps!
