Question

Which of the following is a point- slope equation of a line with the pont(1,8) and a shape of -5?

A Y-8=-5(x-1)
B Y+8=-5(x+1)
C Y+5=5(x+8)
D Y-5=5x-8)

I need help please! I'm trying.

Answer 1

A Y-8=-5(x-1)

Explanation:

The equation of a line with a point and a slope is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-8 =-5(x-1)
