Question

How can I do point-slope form?through (-5, 3), slope= -8/5

Answer 1

y - 3 = -8/5 (x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation

The point-slope form of the equation of a line, that has a slope m and passes through point (x1, y1) is:

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

In this problem m = -8/5 and the given point is (-5, 3). The equation is:

`y-3=-(8)/(5)(x+5)`
