Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8, 8) and has aslope of -22

Answer 1

Step 1: Let's draw the point (8, - 8)

Step 2: Let's find the equation for this point:

y - y 1 = m (x - x1), where m = -2, x1= 8 and y1 = -8

y - (-8) = -2 (x - 8)

y + 8 = -2x + 16

y + 8 - 8 = -2x + 16 - 8

y = -2x + 8

Step 3: The equation is

y = -2x + 8
