Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{1. y + 5 = -4(x - 3); \qquad 2. y - 8 = x + 1}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = 3; y₁ = -5; m = -4  

Substitute the values

[tex]\boxed{\textbf{y + 5 = -4(x - 3)}}[/tex]

The diagram shows the graph of equation 1 (red) with slope -4 passing through (3,-5).

Question 2

x₁ = -1; y₁ = 8; m = 1  

Substitute the values

[tex]\boxed{\textbf{y - 8 = x + 1}}[/tex]

The diagram shows the graph of equation 2 (green) with slope 1 passing through (-1,8).
