Question

what is the equation, in point slope form, for a line that goes though (8, -4) and has a slope of -5/6

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The equation of line passing through (−2,3) is y−3=−3/2(x+2)

Explanation:

The slope of the line 3x+2y=10or2y=−3x+10ory=−32x+5 is m=−3/2[y=mx+c].

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

The equation of line passing through x1,y1 is y−y1=m(x−x1)

So the equation of line passing through (−2,3) is y−3=−3/2(x+2)[Ans]

Answer 2

Answer:

Y=-5/6x +2.74

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason that is correct is because a line that has a slope of -5/6 that also passes through the point (8,-4) would have to cross the Y axis at 2.75.
