Slope Formula:
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- x₁ - x coordinate
- y₁ - y coordinate
- m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(8) = -1 → Coordinate (8, -1)
f(6) = 0 → Coordinate (6, 0)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Substitute [SF]:
- Add/Subtract:
- Simplify:
<u>Step 3: Write Function</u>
<em>Substitute into general form.</em>
- Point 1: y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8)
- Point 2: y = -1/2(x - 6)
