What is the equation in point-slope form for the given point (-8,3) and slope 6? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Write an Equation Given the Slope and a Point 1 Answer Antoine Apr 3, 2015 Form required: # y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)# where #(x_0, y_0)# is the point, in this case #(-8,3)# and #m# is the gradient, #m = 6# #=> y - 3 = 6(x + 8)# Answer link Related questions When writing an equation of a line, if I know more than one point, does it matter which one I choose?
