Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through (5, -8)

with a slope of 3⁄4.

Answer 1

y-y1=m(x-x1) in equation you can use. Plug in the slope and point given as (x1,y1)

y-(-8)=3/4(x-5) Simplify and distribute

y+8=3/4x-15/4 Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

y+8-8=3/4x-15/4-8 Common denominator

y+8-8=3/4x-15/4-32/4 Combine like terms

y=3/4x-47/4
