Question

Enter an equation in point-slope form for the line.

Slope is 8 and (-7, -1) is on the line.
The equation of the line in point slope form is:

Answer 1

y + 1 = 8 (x + 7)

Explanation:

point slope form is

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

So replace the y1 with the y point, and the x1 with the x point

y - (-1) = m (x - (-7) )

then replace the m with the slope

y - (-1) = 8 (x - (-7) )

now solve

y + 1 = 8 (x + 7)
