Question

Find a point-slope form for the line with slope 1/5 and passing through the point (- 4. - 8).

The equation of the line in point-slope form is?
(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)

Answer 1

y+8 = 1/5(x+4)

Explanation:

The point slope form of a line is

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

y- -8 = 1/5(x - -4)

y+8 = 1/5(x+4)
