Can anyone help with Point Slope? I will ffan and medal

Answer 1

@Hero @TheSmartOne @Luigi0210 @AlexandervonHumboldt2 @sleepyjess @KendrickLamar2014 please help

Answer 2

Whale first, do you know the equation for point slope form?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Okay, the equation for point slope for is: \(y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\).
\(y_1\) is simply the known y coordinate
\(x_1\) is simply the known x coordinate
m is the slope

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

So we know all of the values, can you plug them in to that equation? :)

Answer 7

y - -4 =m x - 8?

Answer 8

Yes, make sure you put in the slope, and the x - 8 needs to be in parentheses :)

Answer 9

okay so y - (-4) = -5/6 (x - 8)

Answer 10

Correct! And a double negative makes a ?

Answer 11

positive?
