Question

A line passes through the point(8,-5) and has a slope of " -3" Write an equation for this line.

Answer 1

y=3x-29

Explanation:

y=3*8*b

-5=3*8*b

b = 29

use slope-intercept formula

Answer 2

`y =-3x+19`

Explanation:

Let's refer to the formula for crafting linear equations:

`y-x_(1) =m(x-x_(1) )`

Now, substitute the given values in the formula and calculate:

`y-x_(1) =m(x-x_(1) )\\\\y-(-5) =-3(x-(8))\\\\y+5 =-3x+24\\\\y =-3x+24-5\\\\y =-3x+19\\`
