A line has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (8, 261. What is the
equation of the line?

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the form of line passing through point (x₀ , y₀) and having slope m is :

 y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

Here the line passes through the point (5 , -3)

⇒ x₀ = -2 and y₀ = -5

Given : Slope(m) = -8

Substituting all the values in the standard form, We get :

Equation of the line : y + 3 = -8(x - 5)
