Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given (-2,-7); m=8/3?

Answer 1

Point slope form of equation is `y + 7 = (8/3) * (x + 2)`

Explanation:

Given : `x_1 = -2, y_1 = -7, m = 8/3`

Point slope form of equation is `y - _1 = m (x _ x_1`

`color(green)(y + 7 = (8/3) * (x + 2)`

`3y + 21 = 8x + 16`

Equation in standard form `color(brown)(-8x + 3y + 5 = 0`
