Question

Write the equation of a line in Point-Slope Form y-y1=m(x-x1)
Write the equation of the line passes through the point (7, -8) and has the slope m= -2?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$\huge y + 8 = - 2(x -7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question we have the final answer as

$y + 8 = - 2(x - 7)$
