Question

Find an equation in slope intercept form of the line that has a slope of -8 and passes through point A (1,5)

Answer 1

8x+y-13=0................

Answer 2

8x+y-13=0

Explanation:

let the given point be

A(1,5)=(x1,y1)

slope(m)= -8

then,equation of straight line is,

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

(y-5)= -8(x-1)

y-5= -8x+8

8x+y-5-8=0

therefore,8x+y-13=0 ..........(i) is the required equation.
