Question 914053
PUT THE SLOPE AND POINT INTO THE FORMULA OF THE POINT-SLOPE FORM EQUATION!  This is direct substitution, and nothing more.



Formula for point-slope equation of a line:  {{{y-v=m(x-u)}}}  for some slope m and point (u,v) on the line.


You are given m=7/8  and a point on the line   (-2,-9).


Equation using those data:   {{{y-(-9)=(7/8)(x-(-2))}}}.
