Point = (-8, 9)
slope = m = 5/4
Equation of the line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitution
y - 9 = 5/4(x + 8)
Expanding
4y - 36 = 5x + 40
General form
5x - 4y + 40 + 36 = 0
Equation of the line
5x - 4y + 76 = 0 5x - 4y = -76
A = 5 B = -4 C = 76 }}
Problem 2.
Point = (-10, -9)
slope = m = 1/2
Equation of the line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 9 = 1/2 (x + 10)
2y + 18 = x + 10
x - 2y = 18 - 10
x - 2y = 8
