Question

What is the equation, in point-slope form, for a line that goes through

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $y+4=-\frac{5}{6}(x-8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a line is $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. Since the slope is -5/6 then m=-5/6. Since the line goes through point (8,-4) then substitute $x_1=8\\y_1=-4$ and simplify.

The equation becomes $y--4=-\frac{5}{6}(x-8)\\y+4=-\frac{5}{6}(x-8)$
