a line passes through the point (-8,7) and has a
slope of negative 5/2 write it in point-slope form​

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = (-5/2)x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point slope formula y = mx + b.

Replace m with -5/2, x with -8 and y with 7:

7 = (-5/2)(8) + b.  Find the y-intercept, b:

7 = -20 = b, or b = 27

The equation of this line is y = (-5/2)x + 27.
