Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope. (-5, -8), m = -2 *

Answer 1

`y+8=-2(x+5)`

Explanation:

To create the equation using the point slope form which is
`y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1) )`substitute the terms with the points given above.

`y-(-8)=-2(x-(-5))\\`

After plugging it in, then you simplify the terms which gives you...

`y+8=-2(x+5)`
