Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula, $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1),$all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
