To write a point-slope equation of a line using the slope and a specific point, you can use the point-slope form of the equation, which is given by:
\[
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
\]
Where:
- \(m\) is the slope of the line,
- \((x_1, y_1)\) is a point on the line.
Given that the slope \(m\) is \(-\frac{8}{7}\), and if you have a specific point labeled as \((x_1, y_1)\), you would plug in these values into the equation.
For example, if the labeled point is (3, 4), you would substitute \(x_1 = 3\) and \(y_1 = 4\) into the equation:
\[
y - 4 = -\frac{8}{7}(x - 3)
\]
If you provide specific coordinates for the point, I can give you the exact point-slope equation.
