Question

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

Answer 1

use the standard equation

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m = slope , and (x1,y1) is a given point on the line

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

my options are
y+3=5(x-8)
y+3=5x-8
y-3=5(x-8)
y-3=5(x+8)

Answer 4

well plug in the values and see if you get one of the options

y - 3 = ?

what goes on right side?

Answer 5

its got to be 5( x - something) because m = 5

what is last number in the parentheses?

Answer 6

what is x1?

check out my first post

Answer 7

(x1,y1) = (8,3)

Answer 8

its the last one

Answer 9

can i tell you how i got it?

Answer 10

no - not the last one

Answer 11

how?

Answer 12

how did youou get it?

Answer 13

y-y8=m (x-x8)
y-3=5(x-(-8)
y-3=5(x+8)

Answer 14

no - because x1 is not -8

Answer 15

check the point given in the question

Answer 16

ok
