Question

What is the equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the

point (4, -6) and has a slope m = -8

Answer 1

y + 6 = - 8(x - 4)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 8 and (a, b) = (4, - 6), thus

y - (- 6) = - 8(x - 4) , that is

y + 6 = - 8(x - 4)
