Write the equation of a line through (5, -3) with a slope of
1/5 in standard form.

y = 1/5x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

simply plug in the slope,

y = 1/5x + b

now put in the cooridinates for b,

-3 = 1/5 ( 5) + b

now solve for b,

-3 - 1 = b

-4 = b

now put -4 into the equation,

y = 1/5x - 4

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
