Question

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form.

y – 8 =___ (x – __ )

Answer 1

Well you can find the slope (m) by taking any two points and applying this formula: \[ m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\] and the point (x-?) the `?` is the x - coordinate of the circled point in your graph, the formula they gave you is the point - slope formula it looks like this \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
