What is the point-slope form of the line with slope that passes through the point (5,8)?

Oy=8=-(x - 5)
Oy+8= (x+5)
Oy-5=(x-8)
○ y + 5 = (x+8)

I think the answer is y + 5 = -3/7(x+8)

Answer:

first option

Explanation:

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 = -
(3)/(7) and (a, b ) = (5, 8 ) , then

y - 8 = -
(3)/(7) (x - 5)
