Find an equation of the line with the given slope that passes through the given point. Write the equation in the form Ax+By = C. m= -5, (-8.-9)
The equation of the line in the form Ax +By = C is

In order for the function to be linear, what must m be and why? m = 22 because the rate of change is 1. m = 20 because the rate of change is 3. m = 22 because the rate of change is -1. m = 20 because the rate of change is -3.
