Question

Write the equation of a line that contains the given point and has the given slope:

(-8,-8), slope is 3

Answer 1

Ok

Explanation:

Y = mx + c

Slope is for the gradient =m therefore we have +3 as our gradient

Now we are going to substitute pont - 8mac- 8 on the above equation

Y = mx +c

-8=3(-8) +c

-8=-24 +c

-8+24 =c

16=c

This means that the y intecept of this straight line is 0 mac 16

Meaning that when the line touches the y axis at 16 x will be equal to zero

Therefore our equation is

Y =3x +16
