Question

What is the point slope form of the line with slope −3/7 that passes through the point (5, 8) ?

A. y−5=−37(x−8)

B. y+5=−37(x+8)

C. y−8=−37(x−5)

D. y+8=−37(x+5)

Answer 1

\(\bf y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)
Where m is the slope, and \(\bf{x_1}\) and \(\bf{y_1}\) are the ordered pair.

Any idea what the answer is, or how to start?

Answer 2

is it D ?

Answer 3

Nope
It's subtraction
y - y1
so y - 8
and then same for y

Answer 4

same for x*

Answer 5

it's A ?

Answer 6

Yep
