Question

Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point m= - 8, (2,5) The equation of the line is y= (Simplify your answer. Type your answer in slope-intercept form. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression)​

Answer 1

Equation of line is y = -8x + 21

Explanation:

Slope, m = -8

General equation of line:

`{ \boxed{ \bf{y = mx + c}}}`

At point (2, 5), y = 5 and x = 2:

`{ \tt{5 = ( - 8 * 2) + c}} \\ { \tt{c = 21}}`

Therefore:

`{ \sf{y = - 8x + 21}}`
