A line passes through the point (-8,-5) and has a slope of 3/4. Write an equation in point slope form for this line.

y+5 = 3/4(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of the equation of a line is

y - y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and ( x1,y1) is a point on the line

The slope is 3/4 and the point is (-8,-5)

y - -5= 3/4( x - -8)

y+5 = 3/4(x+8)

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
