Step 1
Given,
The line passing through the point (5,-8) with a slope of -17
We have to write the equation of a straight line in point-slope form.
Step 2
We have
Point =(x1,y1)=(6,8)
Slope =m=17
Equation of a straight line in point-slope form
yy1=m(xx1)
y(8)=17(x5) (substituted the values)
y(8)=17(x5)
y+8=17x+85
y=17x+858
Answer: y=17x+77
