Question

Write an equation in the point-slope form for the line that goes through the point (3, -8) and has a slope of -2.

y - 8 = -2(x + 3)

y - 2 = 3(x - 8)

y + 8 = -2(x - 3)

y + 2 = -8(x +3)

Answer 1

The correct equation in point-slope form for the line that goes through the point (3, -8) and has a slope of -2 is:

y + 8 = -2(x - 3)
