Question

write an equation in point- slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
(8,3): m = 6
a. y + 3 = 6(x-8)
b. y - 3 = 6(x-8)
c. y - 3 = 6(x+8)
d. y + 3 = 6x + 8

Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
&({\color{red}{ 8}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 3}})\quad
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 6
\\ \quad \\

y-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}={\color{green}{ m}}(x-{\color{red}{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values }\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}\)
