Question

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (–3, 8) is y = –x + 6. What is the point-slope form of the equation for this line?

Answer 1

Hi there!
Welcome to OpenStudy! :~)
Any ideas on where to start?

Answer 2

not really haha

Answer 3

Alright that's fine :)
Point slope formula:
\[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
where
m=slope
(x1,y1)

Can you tell me the following:
x1=?
y1=?
m=?

Answer 4

x1= -3
y1=8
m=-1?

Answer 5

Perfect now just plug them into the slope formula what do you get?

Answer 6

thank you!

Answer 7

You're welcome :)
