Question

use the point-slope formula to write an equation of the line having the given conditions. write the answer in slope-intercept form (if possible).

passes through \\((0, -2)\\) and \\(m = \frac{2}{5}\\).

part 1 of 3

label \\((0, -2)\\) as \\((x_1, y_1)\\) and \\(m = \frac{2}{5}\\).

apply the point-slope formula given by select

Explanation:

Step1: Identify point-slope formula

$$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$

Step2: Substitute given values

$$y - (-2) = \frac{2}{5}(x - 0)$$

Answer:

\(y - (-2) = \frac{2}{5}(x - 0)\)
