Question 7 of 10

What is the slope of the line described by the equation below?
y-9 = -2(x-8)

Answer 1

The slope is -2 and a point on the line is (8,9)

Explanation:

The equation is in point slope form

y -y1 = m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope

y-9 = -2(x-8)

The slope is -2 and a point on the line is (8,9)
