Question

What is an equation of the line, in point-slope form, that passes through the given point and has the given slope?
point: (8, –8); slope: 3

Answer 1

When you are given a point and the slope u can find the equation of the line by using this formula:
y-y0=m*(x-x0) where (x0;y0) are the coordinates of the point given and m is the slope
so u will have
y-(-8)=3(x-8)
y+8=3*x-3*8
y+8=3x-24
y=3x-24-8
y=3x-32
