Question

PLEASE HELP! WILL MEDAL AND FAN!

What is the point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through the point (6, -8) and has a slope of -2?

y+8=2(x-6)
y+8=-2(x-6)
y-6=-2(x-8)
y-8=-2(x+6)

I'm thinking D?

Answer 1

same as before we will have to use the following form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where m is the slope and we have the point (6,-8) where y1 is -8 and x1 is 6 and we know that m is -2 so substitute

y - (-8) = -2(x - 6)
simplify the left side
y + 8 = -2(x - 6)
