ABOUT POINT SLOPE FORM:
- y - Y1 = m(x - X1)
- m represents the slope
- Y1 & X1 is a point
- The form allows you to identify the slope & the point on the line
y - Y1 = m(x - X1)
y - 8 = -1/10(x - 1) -- IN POINT SLOPE FORM
Hope this helps you!!! :)
<u>Given:</u>
Take west to be the positive direction. The height of a sloped roof above the place where you stand is 12 feet. If you move 3 feet west, the height is 10 feet.
We need to determine the slope.
Let x denote the standing place.
Let y denote the height.
Writing the given as coordinates, we get;
(0,12) and (3,10)
<u>Slope</u>:
The slope can be determined using the formula,

Substituting the coordinates (0,12) and (3,10), we have;


Thus, the slope is 
Answer:m = 5/4 b=2 and y=5/4x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
m = 5/4 b=2 and y=5/4x +2
