The point slope formula is m = [tex] \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} [/tex]
Or y₂-y₁ = m (x₂-x₁)
m is slope
Given point: (8, -4)
Slope: [tex] -\frac{5}{6} [/tex]
Substitute:
y₂-(-4) = [tex]- \frac{5}{6} [/tex] (x₂ - 8)
(minus minus = plus)
y₂ + 4 =[tex] -\frac{5}{6} [/tex] (x₂ - 8)
The last option is the answer.
