PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

What is the point and slope of the line represented by the equation below?
y + 3 = -2(x - 8)

A. slope = -2; point = (8, -3)
B. slope = -2; point = (3, -8)
C. slope = -2; point = (-8, 3)
D. slope = 2; point = (-3, 8)

Answer 1

Answer:

  A.  slope = -2; point = (8, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare to the point-slope form for slope m and point (h, k).

  y -k = m(x -h)

You see that k = -3, m = -2, h = 8, so ...

• the slope is -2
• the point is (h, k) = (8, -3)
