This is a difference of perfect squares which is of the form:
(a^2-b^2)
And which always factors to:
(a-b)(a+b)
In this case:
(5x-8)(5x+8)
Answer:
y - 8 = -2(x - 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the slope, m = -2, and the point, (9, 8):
Let (x₁, y₁) = (9, 8)
slope (<em>m </em>) = -2
We can substitute these values into the following <u>point-slope form</u>:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 8 = -2(x - 9) ⇒ This is the point-slope form.
