Question

write an equation in point-slope form for the line that has the given slope and that contains the given point......................slope 4/5 (8,2)
choices are y+8=4/5(x+2)
y-2=4/5(x-8)
y+2=4/5(x+8)
y-8=4/5(x-2)

Answer 1

Point slope form is as follows
\[y-a = m(x-b)\]
Here you have the slope, m, which is 4/5
And the point (8,2), which is the same as (x,y)
You can input these numbers for your answer :)

Answer 2

@Abs.Zero so would the answer be y-2=4/5(x-8)??

Answer 3

Yep, that's correct.

Answer 4

@Abs.Zero thanks
