write an equation of the ine, inpoint slope form, that pases through the given points and has the given slope

(8,-8); slope:3

1 answer

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Using the given slope (m = 3) and the point (8, -8), the equation in point-slope form can be written as:

y - (-8) = 3(x - 8)

Simplifying,

y + 8 = 3x - 24

Thus, the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

y = 3x - 32
