Plzzzz answer fasttttt

What is the equation of a line that passes through (7, 8) and has a slope of -3?

Answer 1

When you know the coordinates
`(x_0,y_0)` of a point belonging to a line and its slope
`m`, you can write the equation as

`y-y_0=m(x-x_0)`

Plug your values
`(x_0,y_0) = (7,8)` and
`m=-3` to get

`y-8=-3(x-7)`

which you can expand to

`y = -3x+29`
