Question

A line passes through the point (-8,-5) and has a slope of 3/4. Write an equation in point slope form for this line.

Answer 1

y+5 = 3/4(x+8)

Explanation:

The point slope form of the equation of a line is

y - y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and ( x1,y1) is a point on the line

The slope is 3/4 and the point is (-8,-5)

y - -5= 3/4( x - -8)

y+5 = 3/4(x+8)
