Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given point: (8, –8); slope: 3?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Point slope form is:

`y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)`

`(x_1, y_1)` is your point and `m` is your slope:

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

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

That's it!

here is a graph of the line:
