  • Coordinates (x, y)

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

  • x₁ - x coordinate
  • y₁ - y coordinate
  • m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables.

Point (-5, -4)

Slope m =  [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step 2: Find Equation

  1. Substitute in variables [Point-Slope Form]:                                                    [tex]\displaystyle y - -4 = \frac{1}{4}(x - -5)[/tex]
  2. [Order of Operations] Simplify:                                                                        [tex]\displaystyle y + 4 = \frac{1}{4}(x + 5)[/tex]
