Find an equation of the line passing through the points (3, -5) with the slope m= -3/8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using the point/slope equation, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "x1=3
\n" ); document.write( "y1=-5
\n" ); document.write( "m = -3/8
\n" ); document.write( "we have
\n" ); document.write( "y - (-5) = \"-3%2F8\"(x - 3)
\n" ); document.write( "y + 5 = \"-3%2F8\"x + \"9%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-3%2F8\"x + \"9%2F8\" - 5
\n" ); document.write( "Change 5 to 40/8
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-3%2F8\"x + \"9%2F8\" - \"40%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
