Question 91188: Find the equation of the line that goes through the given point and has the given slope. Write the answer in slope-intercept form.
(-1,-5), -8 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of the line that goes through the given point and has the given slope. Write the answer in slope-intercept form.
(-1,-5), -8
-------------
The equation has the form y=mx+b
You know m=-8 and y=-5 when x=-1 so you can solve for b as follows:
-5 = (-8)(-1)+b
b=3
EQUATION:
y = -8x + 3
