What is the point slope form of the equation for the line with a slope of -8 that passes through the point (5, -3) ?

We know that the form of line passing through point (x₀ , y₀) and having slope m is :

 y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

Here the line passes through the point (5 , -3)

⇒ x₀ = -2 and y₀ = -5

Given : Slope(m) = -8

Substituting all the values in the standard form, We get :

Equation of the line : y + 3 = -8(x - 5)

ANSWER

The point slope form is

EXPLANATION

The point slope form of the equation of a straight line is given by the formula;

.

Where is the slope of the straight line and the point lies on the line.

We were given the slope to be . This means that .

We were also given that the point lies on the line.

We substitute all these values in to the above equation to obtain,

This simplifies to
