Sure you could as long as you have the point.
for example let's say the slope is 2 and the point we are given is (4,4)
we know that:
plug in the values given
x=4
y=4
m=2
b, the y intercept equals -4.
so:
in this case
(4,-3) I believe- I got it bc x1 is 3 away from x2 and same with y1 and y2
Substitution:
2x + (6(1/2x - 6)) = 19
2x + 3x - 36 = 19
5x - 36 = 19
+ 36
5x = 55
÷ 5
x = 11
y = (1/2 × 11) - 6
y = 5.5 - 6
y = -0.5
Elimination:
y = 1/2x - 6
- y
0 = 1/2x - 6 - y
+ 6
1/2x - y = 6
3x - 6y = 36
2x + 6y = 19
(add)
5x = 55
÷ 5
x = 11
y = (1/2 × 11) - 6
y = 5.5 - 6
y = -0.5
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need me to explain why I did some things :)

Answer:
C. 2x^2 -8x +3 +1/(x +4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Synthetic division is useful for finding the quotient. Or, you can use polynomial long division. The result is the same, but synthetic division requires less writing.
