What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, 9) with a slope of - 5/8 Write the equation in point-slope form.

In this case we have a point,

(

x

,

y

)

and the slope,

m

so all we need is a value for

c

.

Substitute into

y

=

m

x

+

c

−

=

4

(

)

c

=

c

=

−

The equation is:

y

=

5

4

x

−

13

Or you can use the formula for the situation where you have a point,

(

x

1

,

y

1

)

and the slope, (m)

→

y

−

y

1

=

m
