Q. A line that includes the point (−8,−5) has a slope of −31. What is its equation in point-slope form?Use the specified point in your equation. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions. Simplify all fractions.y−=(x−)
Identify Point-Slope Form: Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.Point-slope form: y−y1=m(x−x1)
Substitute Values: We have:Point: (−8,−5)Slope: −31What is the point-slope form of the line?Substitute −31 for m, −8 for x1, and −5 for y1 in point-slope form.y−(−5)=(−31)(x−(−8))
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by removing the double negatives.y+5=(−31)(x+8)
