What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (4, 0) and (2, 6)?

Question

mehek14 · Answer

do you know the slope formula?

anonymous · Answer

yes, but the options for my answer are really confusing me they are:  y = 4x − 2
 y = 2x − 4
 y = −3(x − 4)
 y = 3(x + 4)

anonymous · Answer

i keep getting y = -3x + 12

do you know the distributive property?

anonymous · Answer

wow i feel so stupid, its y= -3 (x-4)

mehek14 · Answer

haha yes that's correct

anonymous · Answer

thanks! can i ask one more question please?

mehek14 · Answer

sure ^_^

anonymous · Answer

how do you solve this problem? Solve the following for y: −6x + 2y = 8

mehek14 · Answer

you have options?

anonymous · Answer

yes-   
 y = −6x + 8
 y = 6x + 8
 y = −3x + 4
 y = 3x + 4

mehek14 · Answer

$-6x+2y=8$
first you want to move -6x
to move it, you add +6x
that gives you
$2y=8+6x$
next you want to isolate y and get rid of 2
to do that, divide 2 by each number
2/2 = 0
8/2=4
6x/2=3x
$y=4+3x$
