Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(–10, –6); m = -5/8
(1 point)
Responses

y – 6 = -5/8(x – 10)


y – 6 =-5/8(x + 10)


y + 6 = -5/8(x + 10)


y + 10 = -5/8(x + 6)

Answer 1

The correct equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope is:

y - (-6) = -5/8 (x - (-10))

Simplifying:

y + 6 = -5/8 (x + 10)

Therefore, the correct answer is:

y + 6 = -5/8 (x + 10)
