Question

10. Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(8, 3); m = 5

[] y + 3 = 5(x - 8)
[] y + 3 = 5x - 8
[] y - 3 = 5(x - 8)
[] y - 3 = 5(x + 8)

Answer 1

C

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 = 5 and (a, b) = (8, 3), hence

y - 3 = 5(x - 8) → C
