Answer 1

point slope form : y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 6
(-1,-8)...x1 = -1 and y1 = -8
now sub, but do not solve...leave the parenthesis in
y - (-8) = 6(x - (-8)
y + 8 = 6(x + 8) <== point slope form

Answer 2

the answer choices is

y+8=6(x+1)

y-8=6(x-1)

y+1=6(x+8)

y-1=6(x-8)

Answer 3

oops...sorry...I subbed wrong
It should be : y + 8 = 6(x + 1)

Answer 4

thankss
