Question

***FAN AND MEDAL***
Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
Point: (8, -4) ; Slope: -5/6

A. y+4=-5/6(x+8)


B. y-4=-5/6(x+8)


C .y+4=-5/6(x-8)


D. y-4=5/6(x-8)

Answer 1

hi

Answer 2

Haii

Answer 3

y-b=x-a , is the line y=x shifted to the point (a,b)

Answer 4

y-b=m*(x-a) is the line y=mx, with slope m shifted to point (a,b)

Answer 5

It's C right?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Definitely C. You just have to plug in the numbers in the point slope formula with 8 as x sub one, -4 as y sub one, and -5/6 as your m or slope.

Answer 8

yep

Answer 9

y-b=m*(x-a) is the line y=mx, with slope m shifted to point (a,b)
m=-5/6, (a,b)=(8,-4)
subbing this in

y-(-4) = -5/6 (x-8)
y+4=-5/6(x-8)
