Question

Find the equation of the line with slope = -7 and passing through (8, -64) . Write your equation in the form of y= mx + b

Answer 1

y = -7x - 8

Explanation:

We know

m = -7

The line Passing through (8, -64)

Write your equation in the form of y = mx + b

We use the point-slope form to solve this.

y - (-64) = -7(x - 8)

y + 64 = -7x + 56

y = -7x - 8
