Question

1

Find a point-slope form for the line with slope and passing through the point (-3,-8).
5

Answer 1

y + 8 = 5(x + 3)

Explanation:

assuming the slope is 5

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = 5 and (a, b ) = (- 3, - 8 ) , then

y - (- 8) = 5(x - (- 3) ) , that is

y + 8 = 5(x + 3)
