Question

A line contains the point slope (8,-5) if the slope of the line is 5/7 write an equation using point slope form

Answer 1

y + 5 = 5/7 * ( x - 8 )
hope this helps!

Answer 2

The required point slope form equation is
`(y+5)=(5)/(7)(x-8)`

Explanation:

Given : A line contains the point slope (8,-5) if the slope of the line is
`(5)/(7)`

To find : Write an equation using point slope form ?

Solution :

The point slope form of a line having a slope m and point
`(x_1,y_1)` is given by,

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

We have given,
`(x_1,y_1)=(8,-5)` and
`m=(5)/(7)`

Substitute in the formula,

`(y-(-5))=(5)/(7)(x-8)`

`(y+5)=(5)/(7)(x-8)`

Therefore, The required point slope form equation is
`(y+5)=(5)/(7)(x-8)`
