Question

which of the following is a point slope equation of a line with the point (1, 8) and a slope of -5? a. y +8=-5(x+1) b. y- 5 = -5(x-8) c. y+ 5= -5(x+8) d. y-8=-5(x-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D. $y-8=-5(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$(x1,y1)=(1,8)$

$m=-5$

substitute

$y-8=-5(x-1)$
