Question

find an equation of the line having the given line and containing the given point. m=8/9, (2,-7)

Answer 1

which form of the equation you need?

Answer 2

y= mx+b
(-7) = (8/9) ( 2) + b
Solve for b
and plug back into equation

Answer 3

opps, yes, the equation of the line is y=__________

Answer 4

y+7 = \(\frac{8}{9}\)(x-2) .... is slope point form :)

Answer 5

y = (8/9)x -(8(2)/9) -7 gets you there then

Answer 6

y = (8/9)x -(8(2)/9) -7(9)/9

y = (8/9)x+(-16-63)/9

y = (8/9)x - 79/9
