Question

(8,0), m=-3
Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. Express your answer in slope intercept form

Answer 1

y=mx+b, m=-3, (8,0)
0=-3(8)+b
0=-24+b
24=b

y=-3x+24

Answer 2

first put it in point slope form:
0-y=-3(8-x)
distribute:
0-y=-24+3x
rearrange and simplify:
-y=3x-24
y=-3x+24
