Question

Identify the point (x1, y1) from the equation: y + 8 = 3(x – 2)

(–2, 8)
(8, –2)
(–8,2)
(2, –8)

Answer 1

The given equation is the equation of a line in point-slope form: y-y0=m(x-x0).
Compare that to the given equation and see whether you can determine x0 and y0.

Answer 2

Starr: Could we complete the solution of the first problem first?

Answer 3

Then x0= ?? and y0 = ??

Answer 4

Then the point is ( ?? , ?? )
