Question

write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point and the given slope (8,3); M=5

Answer 1

In order to solve we need to find the formula for pont-slope form

Answer 2

Point-Slope Formula: y – y1 = m(x – x1)

Answer 3

x1=8 and y1=3 and m=5

Answer 4

now just plug it all in!

Answer 5

y-3=5(x-8)

Answer 6

Use distributive property next so y-3=5x-40
Your going to multiply everything with 5 in the parenthesis

Answer 7

Now you add +3 to both sides in order to cancel out the 3 on the left with Y. Because our goal is to keep Y by itself on the other side of the equation.

Answer 8

y=5x-37 would be your answer :) hope I helped
