Answer:
y - 9 = -8(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y=-8x - 5 that contains j(-2, 9)
Step 1
y intercept =
y = mx + b
y=-8x - 5
m = -8, b = -5
Point slope form
y - y1 =m( x - x1)
We are given coordinates:
j(-2, 9) = (x1, y1) where ,
x1 = -2
y1 = 9
Hence, our point slope form equation is:
y - 9 = -8(x -(-2))
y - 9 = -8(x + 2)
