Question

Write the Linear Equation in Point-Slope Form for a line that has a slope of

-10 and passes through the point (8,2). *

Answer 1

y = -10x + 82

Explanation:

Plug in the slope and point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = -10(8) + b

2 = -80 + b

82 = b

Then, plug b and the slope into y = mx + b

y = -10x + 82 is the equation in point slope form.
