Question

What is the equation of the line passing through `(-8,12)` with slope `m= -9/7`?

Answer 1

`(y-12)=-9/7(x+8)`

Explanation:

Use the `color(red)"slope point formula"` which requires the slope and one point on the line:

`m=slope`

`"point" = (x_1,y_1)`

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

`(y-12)=-9/7(x-(-8))`

`(y-12)=-9/7(x+8)`
