anonymous · Answer

you use the formula

point slop form

y - y1 = m  ( x- x1 )

make sure x and y are consistent
you plug them in accordingly

You need to find the slope of the first line.  Then you use that ans the point to do what mth3v4 said.

e.mccormick · Answer

The slope should be reaaaaaly obvious when it is in $y=mx+b$ form.  You just need m.  In this one, the m is hiding, it is implied rather than stated.

anonymous · Answer

i dont get it

e.mccormick · Answer

$y = x + 8$
$y = mx + b$
What is the m in the first one?
