Question

Write an equation in point-slow form for the line that satisfies the given set of conditions slope of -5 passes through (-3,-8)

Answer 1

y + 8 -5= 7 !!! hope it helps

Answer 2

`y+8 = -5(x+3)`

Explanation:

The point-slope form of a linear equation is:

`y-b=m(x-a)`

where
`m` is the line's slope and
`(a,b)` is a point on the line.

We are given the following variable values:

• 
  `m=-5`
• 
  `a=-3`
• 
  `b=-8`

Plugging these into the point-slope form equation gives us:

`\boxed{y+8 = -5(x+3)}`
