Question

A line contains the point (8, –5). If the slope of the line is 5/7, write the equation of the line using point-slope form.

Answer 1

Hi!
Welcome to openstudy :)
For this we would use the Point-Slope formula like this:
\[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
where
m=slope
(x1,y1)

Answer 2

Can you plug in the given values into the formula? :)
