Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line with a slope of −5/8

that passes through the point (−14,6)
.

Answer 1

Explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=-5/8 ; x1=-14; y1=6

y-6=-5/8(x+14)

8(y-6)=-5(x+14)

8y-42=-5x-70

5x+8y-42+70=0

5x+8y+28=0

Slope intercept form is y=mx+c

8y = -5x-28

y=-5/8x +(-7/2)
