Write an equation of the line that passes through point (-3,8) and has the slope m=-2

Answer 1

y-8 = -2(x+3)

y=-2x +2

2x+y=2

coefficient of the x term is the slope = m

when in the y=mx+b form

with b=y intercept

point slope formula is y-h=m(x-k) where (k,h) is a point on the line such as (-3,8) and m=slope
