Answer:

Equation of the straight line in point-slope form

y -(-7) =
(-3)/(4)(x-8)

Equation of the straight line

3x +4y +4=0

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the point ( 8,-7) and
m = (-3)/(4)

Equation of the straight line passing through the point (x₁, y₁) and having slope 'm'

y - y₁ = m (x-x₁)

y -(-7) =
(-3)/(4)(x-8)

4( y+7) = -3(x-8)

4y +28 = -3x +24

3x +4y +28 -24 =0

3x +4y +4=0
