Question

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through points (-5,-1) and (10, -7 ) is y-4=1/4 (x-8) what is the slope intercept form of the equation for this line​ ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y - 4 = $\frac{1}{4}$ (x - 8) ← distribute

y - 4 = $\frac{1}4}$ x - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form
