What is the equation, in point-slope form, for a line that goes through (8,-4) and has a slope of -5/6?

- y+4= -5/6(x-8)
- y-4= -5/6(x-8)
- y-4= -5/6(x+8)
- y+4= -5/6(x+8)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]y + 4 = -\frac{5}{6}(x - 8)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula, [tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), [/tex]all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
