Question

A line passes through the point (8,5) and has a slope of -3/4

Answer 1

`y=-(3)/(4)x+11`

Explanation:

The equation of the line that passes through the point
`(x_1,y_1)` and has the slope of
`m` is

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

In your case, a line passes through the point (8,5) and has a slope of
`-(3)/(4)`, so its equation is

`y-5=-(3)/(4)(x-8)\\ \\y-5=-(3)/(4)x+6\\ \\y=-(3)/(4)x+11`
