Question

What is the equation of a line, in point-slope form, that passes through (-8, 1)and has a slope of 5/6?

y+1=5/6 (7-8)
y-1=5/6 (1+8)
y-8=5/6 (2+1)
y+8=5/6 (1-1)

Answer 1

y-1=5/6(x+8)

Explanation:

slope intercept form:

• y-y1=m(x-x1)

slope:

• m=5/6

and point:

• (-8, 1)

y-1=5/6(x+8)
