The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (–3, 8) is y = –y minus 3 equals negative StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 8 right-parenthesis.x + 6. What is the point-slope form of the equation for this line?

y – 3 = –StartFraction 8 Over 5 EndFraction x plus StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction minus StartFraction 1 Over 5 EndFraction x.(x + 8)
y + 3 = –y plus 3 equals negative StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 8 right-parenthesis.(x – 8)
y + 8 = –y plus 8 equals negative StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 3 right-parenthesis.(x – 3)
y – 8 = –y minus 8 equals negative StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 3 right-parenthesis.(x + 3)

The correct point-slope form for the equation of the line passing through point (-3, 8) is:

y - 8 = -2/3(x + 3)
