Answer:

[tex]y = -8x + 79\:\:and\or\:\:y - 7 = -8(x - 9)[/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:

[tex]y - 7 = -8(x - 9)[/tex] >> Point-Slope Form

y - 7 = −8x + 72

+ 7 + 7

____________

[tex]y = -8x + 79[/tex] >> Slope-Intercept Form
