Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Point (8,-4) Slope:
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope -5/6
OpenStudy (nincompoop):
you said WHICH
this denotes a list of choices
point-slope form has the general form of
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where m is your slope and x1 and y1 is the coordinate of your point.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope -5/6

for example:
given the point (-4, 5) with a slope of 4/7
in the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1) it will be written as:
y - 5 = (4/7) * [x - (-4)]
OpenStudy (nincompoop):
a line can be represented in three different forms
1) standard form Ax+By = C
2) point-slope form y - y1 = m (x - x1)
3) slope-intercept form y = mx + b
where m is your slope value and b is your y-intercept value.
