Identify point-slope form: Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Substitute slope and point: Substitute the given slope and point into the point-slope form.We are given the slope m=41 and the point (−8,−8). Substituting these values into the point-slope form, we get y−(−8)=(41)(x−(−8)).
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation.Simplifying the equation, we get y+8=(41)(x+8). This is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
