Question

Use the point-slope form of the equation of line y – 8 = 7(x + 3) to identify a point the line passes through and the slope of the line.

slope: 7
point: (-3, 8)

slope: 7
point: (3, 8)

slope: 7
point: (8, 3)

slope: 7
point: (8, -3)

Answer 1

Lets rewrite this into point-slope, y=mx+b.

y-8=7(x+3)
y-8=7x+21
y=7x+29

Now we can find the slope, which is 7. Now, because this is a linear line, we can substitute points to find which answer is correct.

Option A)

(8)=7(-3)+29
8=-21+29
8=8 TRUE

Option A is correct,
slope: 7
point: (-3, 8)
