Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 1) and has a slope
of -3/4

Answer 1

y - 1 = -3/4(x + 8)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ - x coordinate

y₁ - y coordinate

m - slope

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-8, 1)

Slope m = -3/4

Step 2: Write equation

y - 1 = -3/4(x + 8)
