Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope. (-5, -8), m = -2 *

Answer 1

Answer:

$y+8=-2(x+5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To create the equation using the point slope form which is $y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$substitute the terms with the points given above.

$y-(-8)=-2(x-(-5))$

After plugging it in, then you simplify the terms which gives you...

$y+8=-2(x+5)$
