Question 773430
<pre>
Find an equation of the line having given slope and containing the given point m=7/8, (5,-6)
Ans:
Equation of a line in the slope/point form is:
{{{(y - y1)/(x - x1) = m}}}
{{{(y - (-6))/(x - 5) = 7/8}}}
{{{8*(y + 6) = 7*(x - 5)}}}
{{{8*y + 48 = 7*x - 35}}}
{{{7*x - 8*y - 83 = 0}}} is the equation
