Question

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y − 4 = (x − 8). What

Answer 1

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

The point-slope form is actually $y-4=\frac{1}{4}(x-8)$; I assume there was a copy/paste issue.

Also, the correct answer is not in the answer choices given; again assuming a copy/paste issue.

Start by distributing the $\frac{1}{4}$ to $x$ and $-8$.

$y-4=\dfrac{1}{4}x-2$

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$\begin{aligned}y-4+4&=\frac{1}{4}x-2+4\\y&=\frac{1}{4}x+2\end{aligned}$
