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

Question

anonymous · Answer

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m, your slope is 3
(8,-8)  x1 = 8 and y1 = -8

now what can you do with that ?

anonymous · Answer

just sub in your info into the formula

anonymous · Answer

okay and then what?

anonymous · Answer

that is your answer.

anonymous · Answer

I got y-8=3(x-8) is that right?

$\bf (x_1,y_1) \implies (8, -8)\\large \\quad \
\begin{array}{llll}

(&\bf 8, &\bf -8)\
y-&\bf y_1=m(x-&\bf x_1)
\end{array}$

ahemm... even ... wrong there.. shoot

anonymous · Answer

pay attention to the signs..
y - (-8) = 3(x - 8)
which is : y + 8 = 3(x - 8)
