Question

What is this equation in point-slope form?

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 2 = $\frac{1}{2}$(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

here m = $\frac{1}{2}$ and (a, b) = (- 8, 2), hence

y - 2 = $\frac{1}{2}$(x + 8) ← in point- slope form
