Question

Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. Express your answer in slope interpect form.

(8,0),m=-3

y=-3(8)+0 ??? I'm trying here

Answer 1

y=-3x+c ;now this passes thru (8,0)
so 0=-24+c which gives c=24..
So the equation is y+3x=24..understood?

Answer 2

Yes. i understand. What i understood was y(0)=-3(8) +c
So 0= -24 because -3 x 8 = -24 +c

0=-24+c

y= 3x+24
