Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4x + 39

Step-by-step explanation:

• The line passes through point (-8,7) and;
• Has a slope (m) = 4

Let's take another point (x,y) on the line.

Slope (m) = change in y ÷ change in x

∴ m = $\frac{y - 7}{x - -8} = 4$

y = 4x + 32 + 7

y = 4x + 39

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-7=4(x+8)

y-7=4x+32

4x-y=-39
