Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope (-10, -6;m=-5/8
Choices: y – 6 = (x – 10)
y – 6 =-5/8 (x + 10)
y + 6 =-5/8 (x + 10)
y + 10 =-5/8 (x + 6)

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope (-10, -6;m=-5/8
Choices: y – 6 = (x – 10)
y – 6 =-5/8 (x + 10)
y + 6 =-5/8 (x + 10)
y + 10 =-5/8 (x + 6)

hartnn · Answer

the general form is 
$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

hartnn · Answer

where (x1,y1) is the point and m is slope.

anonymous · Answer

the answer is the second to last one. Simply plug them in. The first one u can simply get rid of because m does not equal -5/8.

anonymous · Answer

also what hartnn says is true. That is the original/correct way. But when given the multiply choice questions it may be easier to simply plug them in.
