need help on a problem with point-slope form

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

Whats the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(8,-3) m = \frac{ -1 }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

y-Y=M(x-X) substitute in your numbers for the capital letters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be y= 8=m (x-3)?

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

no, in (8, -3) which is x and which is y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 is X and y is -3

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

so substitute those numbers into the X and Y places in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be y=-3 = M (x-8)

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

y+3=m(x-8) yeah, but then u need to put in m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Y +3 = -1/4 (x-8)

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would get me my answer??/..

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
