Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:y−8=−
`{(3)/(7)`(x−5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

They are asking for point slope form, so we need to grab the equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Then just plug in what we already know:
m = -3/7 , y1 = 5 , x1 = 8

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

Then solve for Y

Final Answer: y = -3/7x + 71/7
