I know how to get the slope, but I'm not very familiar with point-slope form, give me just a minute
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think the one in () is -6 :)

You almost have x right. Point-slope form is \(\sf (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\) notice how it is subtracting x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
So what is x-(-6) equal to?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6x

just 6
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
So now we have \(\sf (y-6)=m(x+6)\). Now we need to find another point on that line to get the slope.
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Oh, it looks like there is a point at -8, 2. Are you familiar with the slope formula?
