Question

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (-8, 2) and is parallel to a line with a slope of -8. Include all of your work in your final answer.

Answer 1

The equation of the line would be y - 2 = -8(x + 8)

Explanation:

In order to solve this, use the point and the slope in point-slope form. To start, we need the basic form of point-slope, which is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now input the slope for m and the point for (x1, y1)

y - 2 = -8(x + 8)
