Question

The slope of the line below is -5 which of the following is the point-slope form of the line (2,-8)

Answer 1

The point slope form has the following syntax.

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$
m = slope = -5 
$y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)$
(x,y) = (2,-8)
$x_1 = 2$
$y_1 = -8$
$y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)$
$y - (-8) = -5(x - 2)$
$y + 8 = -5(x - 2)$  <------Answer
