Question

Write the equation from the line whose slope and the point through which it passes are given. Express the equation in point-slope form. (8,-1) and slope m=-3

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 1 = 3(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 3 and (a, b ) = (8, - 1 ) , then

y - (- 1) = 3(x - 8) , that is

y + 1 = 3(x - 8)
