Question

A line of a slope of 8 passes through the point (-6,4). What is its equation in point slope form?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y-4=8(x+6)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in the point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$m-slope\\\\(x_1;\ y_1)-point$

We have:

$m=8\\\\(-6;\ 4)\to x_1=-6;\ y_1=4$

Substitute:

$y-4=8(x-(-6))\\\\y-4=8(x+6)$
