Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (1,-1) and has slope m=5 . Write the equation in general form.
A) $- 5 x + y - 4 = 0$
B) $- 5 x + y + 6 = 0$
C) $5 x + y - 4 = 0$
D) $x + 5 y + 6 = 0$
E) $5 x + y + 6 = 0$

The point-slope form of the line is $y + 1 = 5(x - 1)$. Simplifying, we get $y = 5x - 6$. Converting to general form, we have $-5x + y + 6 = 0$.
