Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (8, 3); m = 5. can someone explain to me this?
answer choices are
y+3=5(x-8)
y+3-5x-8
y-3=5(x-8)
y-3=5(x+8)

triciaal · Answer

point-slope means the slope at that point on the line 
the slope of the line is the change in y over the corresponding change in x  commonly referred to as the rise over the run
the slope is the same for any 2 points on that line

triciaal · Answer

the slope of the line is denoted by m and two points on the line as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
