Question

Write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form that passes through the point (3, 8) and has

Answer 1

Answer:

These are the facts you want in your explanation

• The student should have simplified the equation to have y + 8 on the left.

• Then, the student should have subtracted 8 from both sides of the equation.

• The value of b should be 4, not 20.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Y=5x - 7

The slope-intercept form of a straight line is
y
=
m
x
+
c
In this case we have a point,
(
x
,
y
)
and the slope,
m
so all we need is a value for
c
.
Substitute into
