Question

What is the point slope point form of the line with slope -3/7 that passes through the point (5,8)

A) y+5= -3/7(x+8)
B) y+8= -3/7(x+5)
C) y-5= -3/7(x-8)
D) y-8= -3/7(x-5)

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

The point slope form of this equation would be D) y - 8 = -3/7(x - 5)

Explanation:

In order to find this, we simply plug in the information known into point-slope form, which is listed for you below.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = -3/7(x - 5)
