Question 357095: 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 nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Plug:
(-1, -5), -8
into the "point-slope" form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-5) = -8(x - (-1))
y + 5 = -8(x + 1)
y + 5 = -8x - 8
y = -8x - 13 (this is what they're looking for)
