Answer:

The required equation to the given slope m=-5 and a point (-1,3) is 5x+y+2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope  m=-5 and a point (-1,3)

Now we have to find an equation with the given slope and point :

Let [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] be the given point (-1,3)

The slope point formula is [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

y-3=-5(x-(-1))

y-3=-5(x+1)

y-3=-5(x)-5(1) ( by using the distributive property a(x+y)=ax+ay here a=-5,x=x and y=1 )

y-3=-5x-5

y-3-(-5x-5)=-5x-5-(-5x-5) ( by using the distributive property a(x+y)=ax+ay  here a=-1,x=-5x and y=-5)

y-3+5x+5=-5x-5+5x+5

y+2+5x=0

5x+y+2=0 which is the required equation
