Question

Find an equation in point-slope for the line having the slope m m = - 6 and containing the point (8,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 6 = - 6(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

Here m = - 6 and (a, b ) = (8, 6 ) , then

y - 6 = - 6(x - 8) ← equation of line
