Question

and passing through the given point. Then write the equation in standard form.

Slope-3/8 ; through (5, 3)
Choose one answer.
	 a. 3x - 8y = 39	
	 b. 3x + 8y = -39	
	 c. 3x + 8y = 39	
	 d. 8x + 3y = -39

hero · Answer

Use the point slope formula:

$$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$

hero · Answer

So:  
m = -3/8
(x_1,y_1 )=(5,3)

Plugging in the given values into the formula: 

y - 3 = -3/8(x - 5)

hero · Answer

y - 3 = -3x/8 + 15/8
y = -3x/8 + 15/8 + 3
y = -3x/8 + 15/8 + 24/8
y = -3x/8 + 39/8
y = (-3x + 39)/8
