Question

How do you find an equation of the line having the given slope -3 and containing the point (8,0)?

Answer 1

you can use 'point slope form' of equation.

Explanation:

Given:
Slope=m= 3
point (8,0)

using point slope form, that is , `(y-y_1)/(x-x_1)=m` (here 1 is only the footer).

`(y-0)/(x-8)=3`
simplifying it ,

`y=3x-24`

hope it helps.
