How would you write an equation of the line that passes through (-2,-5) and has a slope of 4
 
Take the x-value, the y-value, and the m-value, plug them into "y = mx + b", solve for b, and then re-write "y = mx + b" with the values for m and b.

Straight line equations have the form of
y = mx + b
wher (x,y) is a point that the line goes through, m is the slope and b is a constant

Place you point values and slope into this equation and find the value of b.

Then rewrite the equation using the slope and b valuse but leaving x & y as variables
