Question

Find the equation of the line specified. The slope is -4, and it passes through ( 5, 8).

a. y = 4x + 8
b. y= -4x + 28
C. y = -4x - 12
d. y= -8x + 28

Please select the best answer from the choices provided A W B C С D​

Answer 1

Answer:

B. y= -4x + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this line first put it into slope-point form, $y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1})$ where $y_{1}$ and $x_{1}$ are the y and x coordinates and m is the slope. So plug in the information to get the equation, y-8=-4(x-5). Then solve for y,

First, distribute the -4

y-8=-4x+20

Next, add 8 to both sides

y=-4x+28

Answer 2

The correct answer would be B) -4x+28
