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

point:(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.

Substituting the given values into the equation, we have:

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

Simplifying the equation, we get:

y + 8 = 3x - 24

Rearranging the equation to the standard form, we have:

3x - y = 32

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (8, -8) and has a slope of 3 in point-slope form is:

y + 8 = 3(x - 8)
