Question

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

Answer 1

Equation of straight line in point slope form is `y+8= -3/7(x+7)`#

Explanation:

Equation of straight line passing through `(x_1,y_1)`in point slope form is `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

So, equation of straight line passing through `(-7,-8)`having slope `m=-3/7` is `y-(-8)=-3/7(x-(-7)) or y+8= -3/7(x+7)` [Ans]
