**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).

### Mathematics: Graphs from Text

#### 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.
