Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -8) and
has a slope of -1?

Answer 1

The equation is y=-1x-5

Answer 2

In point-slope form, the answer is:

y - (-8) = -1 ( x - 3) or y + 8 = -1 (x-3)

For slope intercept form, you can solve the equation above for y:

y + 8 = -x +3

y = -x -5
