write an equation in point slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope
(8,3); m=5
A.) y + 3 = 5 (x - 8)
B.) y + 3 = 5x - 8
C.) y - 3 = 5 (x - 8)
D.) y - 3 = 5 (x + 8)
Point Slope Form Answers:
1. B.
2. A.
3. C.
4. A.
5. B.
(8, 3), (x, y), m = 5.
m = (y-3)/(x-8) = 5.
cross-multiply:
y-3 = 5(x-8).

Zinact is correct 💯
Yes, of course
Memorize that formula
Enter an equation in point-slope form of the line having the given slope that contains the given point.
slope = −12 contains U(2,−2)

To write an equation in point-slope form for a line, you need the coordinates of a point on the line and the slope of the line.
In this case, the given point is (8, 3) and the slope is 5.
The point-slope form of a line is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) are the coordinates of the given point and m is the slope.
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
y - 3 = 5(x - 8)
So, the correct equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope is:
C.) y - 3 = 5(x - 8)
for any given point (a,b) and slope m, the equation is
y - b = m(x - a)
which of the choices matches that pattern?
