Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3, -8) with a slope of -5.
Write your answer in Slope-Intercept Form.

Answer 1

\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]Here, \(m = -5\),
\(x_1 = -3\)
\(x_2 = -8\)

Answer 2

After you get your answer, rearrange it in the form of \(y = mx + b\)

Answer 3

\[x_1 = -3\]\[y_1 = -8\]*

Answer 4

y−y1=m(x−x1)

y + 8 = -5 ( x + 3)

y + 8 = -5x - 15

y = -5x - 23
