Question

what is the point-slope form of the equation of a line passes through the point 6,-8 and has a slope of -2

A.y+8=2(x-6)
B.y+8=-2(x-6)
C.y-6=-2(x-8)
D.y-8=-2(x+6)

Answer 1

big hint the point slope form of a line that passes through (a,b) with slope m is
y-b=m(x-a)

Answer 2

oh i know C i think @freckles ?

Answer 3

m is slope & it states that the slope is -2
freckles said: y-b=m(x-a)
that means its either B, C, or D

Answer 4

@mamas (a,b)=(6,-8) in this case
I think you mixed b and a around

Answer 5

(a,b) is (6,-8)
so a =6
and b = -8
so you have:
y-b = -2(x-a)
y+8=-2(x-6)

Answer 6

B, y + 8 = -2(x-6)

Answer 7

thats the answer @mathrulezz ? @freckles ? B

Answer 8

yes :)

Answer 9

thanks @mathrulezz
