Question

write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (8, –3); m =- 1/4 y – 3 = -1/4(x 8) y – 8 = -1/4(x 3) y 3 = -1/4(x – 8) y – 3 = -1/4(x – 8)

Answer 1

Y - y₁ = m(x -x₁)

slope m = -1/4,  from point (8, -3) ,  x₁ = 8, y₁ = -3

 y - y₁ = m(x -x₁)

y - -3 = -(1/4)(x - 8)

Option A

y + 3 = -(1/4)(x - 8)
