Question

Find the equation of the given line.Find the equation of the line passing through (3, 8) with slope -2.y =

Answer 1

The equation of a line is given as:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y1 = 8 x1= 3 slope(m) = -2

So, let's substitute the values of y1, x1 and m into our equation.

y - 8 = -2(x - 3)

y - 8 = -2x + 6

Let's add 8 to both sides:

y = -2x + 14
