Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point

Answer 1

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 (m ) = -2

We can substitute these values into the following point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 8 = -2(x - 9)  ⇒ This is the point-slope form.
