Question

Fine an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point.
m = 8/9, (4, - 1)

Answer 1

y = mx + b

M = slope.

n = y-intercept.

Can you fill these in?

Answer 2

I'm sorry, b is the y-intercept. Not n. :)

Answer 3

The formula is I use for this is: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 4

In this case:

m = slope

x1 = x-pont.
y1 = y-point

Try now. :)

Answer 5

\[y = \frac{ 8x }{ 9 } - \frac{ 41 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

Are there answer choices?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

Are you asked to find the equation with Point-Slope?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

If so then the answer would be . . . \[y = \frac{ 8x }{ 9 } - \frac{ 41 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 12

Yes, that's correct. But next time walk him through it rather than giving him the direct answer. :)
