nubeer · Answer

m= 5-0/1-(-8)
m= 5/9
y-0 = 5/9(x-(-8))
y = 5/9 (x+8)
9y = 5x + 40 compare this with Ax+By = C.. you will get values ..

Equation of Line with one point and slope given is given by :

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

anonymous · Answer

But @nubeer that is what I had as my answer.

nubeer · Answer

hmm so is it wrong?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, I think so..

nubeer · Answer

well I don't think so .. or maybe just rearrage it but that should be the equation of line..

anonymous · Answer

OK. Thank you!

anonymous · Answer

hi guys!, m also hvig same problm here @numbeer hw do i rearrage it?

nubeer · Answer

9y = 5x +40
-5x +9y =40
A = -5 , B = 9 , C = 40
