I don't see the point or slope
OpenStudy (satan312):
ok one sec

the standard point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)
You input the 8 for x1 the -4 for y1 and the -5/6 for m and you get
y-(-4)=(-5/6)(x-(8)) which simplifies to
y+4=-5/6(x-8

ok can you help with a few more

What is the point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through the point (3, 5) and has a slope of 2?a y+3=2(x+5)
b y-3=2(x+5)
c y+3=2(x-5)
d y-3=2(x-5)

explain?

same thing
put in 5 for y1 and 3 for x1 then put in 2 for m
y-5=2(x-3)
i just realized that all of the answer choices are wrong
