Given the points (2, 3) and (6, 8), write the point-slope form of the equation.
y - 3 = x - 2
y - 8 = 4/5 (x - 6)
y - 3 = 5/4 (x - 2)

Question

Given the points (2, 3) and (6, 8), write the point-slope form of the equation.
	y - 3 = x - 2
	y - 8 = 4/5 (x - 6)
	y - 3 = 5/4 (x - 2)

anonymous · Answer

the equations you list are already in point slope form....are you sure they do not want you to write it in slope intercept form?

anonymous · Answer

No it says point-slope form
for the points

anonymous · Answer

ok so you would use the equation y-given y value=slope(x-given x value)

anonymous · Answer

so tjen b

anonymous · Answer

No...c

anonymous · Answer

slope is change in y divided by change in x

anonymous · Answer

so from point (2, 3) to (6, 8)..the change in y is 8-3=5

anonymous · Answer

and the change in x is 6-2=4

anonymous · Answer

therefore the slope is 5/4 which goes in place of m
