I found the slope of the line from point M to point V. The slope is -3.875. I continued this slope starting with point V to find the coordinates of point W. The coordinates of point W are (18,0).

I graphed the coordinates and the line of VW on the graph below.

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y – 4 = (x – 8). What is the slop

Lynna [10]

Change <span>y – 4 = (x – 8) into slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

</span><span>y – 4 = (x – 8) => y = 4 + x - 8 => y = x - 4 (answer)</span>

Find the equation of a line given the point and slope below. Arrange your answer in the form y=mx+b, where b is the

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

First, we put the values of the given point into the general equation, giving:

0 = m * -1 + b .......(1)

Now plug in the given value of m into equation (1), giving:

0 = 2 + b ........(2)

Solving equation (2), we find that b = -2.

Now we can write the required equation as:

y = -2x - 2
