a line passing through the point (1,-4) and has a slope of 5. write an equation in point-slope form for this line.
The point slope formula is
y-y1=m(x-x1). The ones are subscripts. It tells you your y1 (-4) as well as your x1 (1). They also give you the m. You simply substitute your values, which would give you:
y-(-4)=5(x-1)
y+4=5(x-1)
