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)
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
