Find a point-slope form for the line with slope 5
• and passing through the point (- 7, -8).
The equation of the line in point-slope form is
(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)
The point-slope form of a linear equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is any point on the line.
Given that the slope is 5 and the point is (-7, -8), the point-slope form of the line is:
y - (-8) = 5(x - (-7))
Simplifying this equation, we get:
y + 8 = 5(x + 7)
