Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form. We are given a point and a slope, so we can use the point-slope formula.
In this formula, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passes through. The slope of the line is 8 and it passes through the point (1, -6). Therefore,
- m= 8
- x₁= 1
- y₁= -6
Substitute these values into the formula.
Remember that 2 back to back subtraction signs are the same as an addition sign.
The line must be in slope-intercept form or y=mx+b (m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We must isolate the variable y on one side of the equation. First, distribute on the right side of the equation. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 8.
6 is being added to y. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction, so we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is <u>y=8x-14</u>. The slope is 8 and the y-intercept is -14.
You just have to plug your coordinates into the distance formula.
(1, 6) (8, 1)
(X1, Y1) (X2, Y2)
do the work and you get 8.6
(1, 6) (8, 1)
(X1, Y1) (X2, Y2)
do the work and you get 8.6
