Question

A line contains the point slope (8,-5) if the slope of the line is 5/7 write an equation using point slope form

Answer 1

y + 5 = 5/7 * ( x - 8 )
hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

The required point slope form equation is $(y+5)=\frac{5}{7}(x-8)$                                                      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A line contains the point slope (8,-5) if the slope of the line is $\frac{5}{7}$

To find : Write an equation using point slope form ?

Solution :  

The point slope form of a line having a slope m and point $(x_1,y_1)$ is given by,

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

We have given, $(x_1,y_1)=(8,-5)$ and $m=\frac{5}{7}$

Substitute in the formula,

$(y-(-5))=\frac{5}{7}(x-8)$

$(y+5)=\frac{5}{7}(x-8)$

Therefore, The required point slope form equation is $(y+5)=\frac{5}{7}(x-8)$
