Question

Write the answer in standard form. The line has a slope of -67 and contains the point (-5, -8). g

Answer 1

Given that,

Slope of the line, m = -6/7

It contains the point (-5,-8)

To find,

The equation of line.

Solution,

Use the formula as follows :

y = mx+b

Put x = -5 and y = -8

`-8=(-6)/(7)(-5)+b\\\\b=-8-(6)/(7)* 5\\\\b=-12.28\\\\=-(86)/(7)`

So, the equation of line is :

`y=(-6)/(7)x-(86)/(7)`
