**Problem 539:**
Find the slope of the line between the points (5, 2) and (-1, -4).
\[
m = \frac{2 - (-4)}{5 - (-1)} = \frac{2 + 4}{5 + 1} = \frac{6}{6} = 1
\]
**Problem 540:**
Graph the line with slope \(\frac{3}{5}\) using the point (0, -1).
Equation derived from point-slope form:
\[
y + 1 = -\frac{3}{5}(x - 0)
\]
Simplified to slope-intercept form:
\[
y = -\frac{3}{5}x - 1
\]
**Graph Explanation:**
The image contains two coordinate plane graphs:
- **Graph on the left**: Displays a line drawn through points, illustrating the equation \( y = -\frac{3}{5}x - 1 \).
- **Graph on the right**: Displaying a coordinate plane with axes marked from -6 to 6 on both x and y-axes but without additional details.
**Problem 541:**
Graph the line with slope \(\frac{1}{2}\) containing the point (-3, -4).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F39f8eda8-4420-4bda-ab27-1b53a7c9ec36%2F30d44129-6a1f-4ee1-8adf-f556d27a0518%2Fdadg44_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

#### Item 547
Given:
- Slope (\(m\)): 2
- Point: \((-3, -1)\)
This information can be used to form the equation of a line using the point-slope formula:
\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]
where \((x_1, y_1)\) is the point \((-3, -1)\).
#### Item 552
Inequality:
\[ x - y \geq -4 \]
This represents a linear inequality. The line \( x - y = -4 \) can be graphed, and the solution to the inequality includes the shaded region above and including the line.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F39f8eda8-4420-4bda-ab27-1b53a7c9ec36%2F30d44129-6a1f-4ee1-8adf-f556d27a0518%2Ff4giiyb_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
