Question

Find the equation of the line with the given slope and containing the given point. slope -7/10; through (-8,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = -\frac{7}{10}(x + 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, substitute m = -7/10 and the point (-8,0) into the point slope formula.

$y - y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y - 0 = -\frac{7}{10}(x --8)\\y = -\frac{7}{10}(x + 8)$
