Answer: y+4=-5/6(x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

M=-5/6

Point x₁₌8 y₁=-4

from y=mx+c

with the given point

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

y-(-4)=-5/6(x-8)

y+4=-5/6(x-8)

Answer:

C. [tex]y + 4 = -\frac{5}{6}(x - 8)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Point-Slope Formula, [tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex], all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
