Question

Write an equation in point slope form given: slope, m, = -7/8 and point (2, 3).
A. y – 2 = - (7/8)(x + 3)
B. y – 2 = (7/8)(x + 3)
C. y – 3 = -(7/8)(x - 2)
D. y – 3 = (7/8)(x - 3)

Answer 1

Answer 2

plug the given info into point slope form

\[\Large y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]

Answer 3

tell me what you get

Answer 4

A @jim_thompson5910

Answer 5

you mixed up x and y

Answer 6

so C? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 7

\[\Large \Large y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]
\[\Large \Large y - y_1 = -\frac{7}{8}(x - x_1)\]
\[\Large \Large y - 3 = -\frac{7}{8}(x - 2)\]
yep it's C

Answer 8

okay thank you @jim_thompson5910
