Question

Select the proper equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope.
Point: (–8, 3); Slope: 6

(Points : 1)
y + 3 = 6x – 48
y + 3 = 6(x + 8)
y – 3 = 6(x – 8)
y – 3 = 6(x + 8)

Answer 1

The point slope formula is: y - y1 = m(x - x1).
m = 6, y1 = 3, and x1 = -8
All we need to do is plug them in.
y - 3 = 6(x + 8) <---- Answer.
Since x1 is -8, -(-8) = 8. So we put an addition sign in front instead of the usual subtraction sign.
