Question

What is the equation, in point-slope form, for a line that goes through (8, −4)and has a slope of −5/6?


A)y+4=−5/6(x−8)

B)y−4=−5/6(x−8)

C)y−4=−5/6(x+8)

D)y+4=−5/6(x+8)

Answer 1

What is the equation, in point-slope form, for a line that goes through (8, −4)and has a slope of −5/6?

Point slope : y − y1 = m(x − x1)

Y-(-4)=-5/6(x-8)

Letter a: Y+4= -5/6(x-8)
