Question

What is the point-slope equation of the line with slope 1/4 that goes through the point (-2, 8)?

Answer 1

y = mx+b

equation 1: y = (1/4)x+b

// find b by plugging in (-2,8) for (x,y).
// plug b back into equation 1 and then you have the answer.

Answer 2

y + 8 = -1/4 (x-2) ?!!

Answer 3

@tomo

Answer 4

y = (1/4)x+b

8 = (1/4)(-2) + b

8 = -1/2 + b

8+1/2 = b

b = 17/2

just replace b in equation 1 with 17/2
