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)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it says point-slope form for the points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so tjen b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No...c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is change in y divided by change in x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the change in x is 6-2=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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