Question

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 slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?
y = x – 12
y = x – 4
y = x + 2
y = x + 6

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite y – 4 = (x – 8) in slope-intercept form.  To do this, solve the given equation for y:

y - 4 = x - 8  →  y = 4 + x - 8, or y = x - 4
