Question

What is the equation in point slope form of a line that passes through the point (–8, 2) and has a slope of 1/2? Drag a number, symbol, or variable to each box to write a point-slope equation for this line.

Answer 1

y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – (–6) = (4)(x – (–1))
y + 6 = 4(x + 1)
y + 6 = 4x + 4
y = 4x + 4 – 6

y = 4x – 2

Answer 2

Point slope form:
                            y - y1 = m(x - x1)  , Where "m" represent a slope.
Given;  point :(-8,2)    ,  slope (m) = 1/2
Point slope form or equation of this line would be 

y - 2 = (1/2) (x + 8)
