Question

A line that includes the point (6, 8) has a slope of -9/5.What is its equation in point-slope

form?

Answer 1

`y - 8 = -1(4)/(5)[x - 6]`

Explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula,
`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1),`all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

* −1⅘ = −9⁄5
