The equation of the line in point-slope form is ____

anonymous · Answer

I got y-6=-3/7(x+8) but the answer is positive 3/7 i dont understand why

jlastino · Answer

The line is parallel to 3x-7y-5=0 meaning it has the same slope of the given.

FInd the slope of 3x-7y=5

-7y=-3x+5
y=3/7x+5 (it's positive 'cause you divided negative by negative)
