Question

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

Answer 1

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Plug slope for m
Plug (x,y) for (x1,y1)

Answer 2

ok so the answer i got was y-8=3(x-8)

Answer 3

No, plug always plug stuff in like:
y - (-8) = m (x - (8))

Answer 4

so is my answer wrong or do I just need parentheses?

Answer 5

answer: y + 8 = 3 (x-8) it just helps you figure out the sign

Answer 6

thank you!
