Question

What is the equation of the line with slope `m= -7/8` that passes through `(2,5)`?

Answer 1

`y=-7/8x+54/5`

Explanation:

`m=-7/8" slope"`

`P=(2,5)" any point on the line"`

`x_1=2" ; "y_1=5`

`"Apply the formula :"`

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

`y-5=-7/8(x-2)`

`y=-7/8x+14/8+5`

`y=-7/8x+(14+40)/5`

`y=-7/8x+54/5`
