Question

write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passed through the given point with the given slope. point: (-4,6) slope:8

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-6=8(x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is $y -y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})$ where we substitute a point (x,y) for $(x_{1},y_{1})$.  

We have slope represented as m=8 and (-4, 6). We input m and $x_{1} =-4\\y_{1}=6$.

$y-6=8(x-(-4))\\y-6=8(x+4)$
