Question

32.) Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

( 8 , - 3 ) ; m = - 1/4


a.) y - 8 = - 1/4 ( x + 3 )


b.) y + 3 = - 1/4 ( x - 8 )


c.) y - 3 = - 1/4 ( x + 8 )


d.) y - 3 = - 1/4 ( x - 8 )

Answer 1

`\displaystyle y + 3 = -(1)/(4)(x - 8)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula [y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)], all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
