Question

Line a passes through that point (-8,-7) and has a slope of 5/8. Choose the equation that best represents A

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5/8 x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope of the line, m=5/8, which passes through the point (-8,-7).

Let the equation of the line be y=mx+c

where m is the slope of the line and c is a constant.

As m=5/8, so the equation of line become

y= 5/8x+c

As the line passes through the point (-8,-7), so putting y= -7 and x= -8, we have

-7 = 5/8(-8)+c

-7 = -5 + c

c= -7 + 5

c= -2

On putting the value of c, the equation of line become

y=5/8 x -2

Hence, the equation of the line is y = 5/8 x -2.
