Question

A line passes through (8,-4) and has slope 2/3. What is an equation in point slope form of the line? An equation of the line is?

Answer 1

Answer:

The point slope form of the line would be y + 4 = 2/3(x - 8) and the equation of the line would be y = 2/3x - 28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point-slope form of the line, start with the base form of point-slope form. Then input the point we have and the slope in the appropriate places.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -4 = 2/3(x - 8)

y + 4 = 2/3(x - 8)

Now to find the slope intercept form, you simply  need to solve for y.

y + 4 = 2/3(x - 8)

y + 4 = 2/3x - 16/3

y = 2/3x - 28/3
