Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form. y – 8 = ___ (x – ___) https://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1522000_1522500/1522153/3/b9695124bd99b2284dab287b469d8a032e021858/MS_IMC-140829-100655.jpg

first we find the slope (2,8) (6,0) slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) slope(m) = (0 - 8) / (6 - 2) slope(m) = -8/4 slope(m) = -2 y - y1 = m(x - x1) slope(m) = -2 (2,8)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 8 now we sub y - 8 = -2(x - 2) <=== there ya go

any questions ?

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

Nope, THank You!!!! Can chu helpo meh with 1 more plz?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I can try....ask away

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

mk, 1 sec...

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

Is this right? ღ

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

(0,-4)(-4,-1) slope(m) = (-1-(-4) / (-4 - 0) slope(m) = (-1 + 4) / -4 slope(m) = -3/4...or -0.75 now we use y = mx + b slope(m) = -0.75 use either of your points...(0,-4) now we sub -4 = -0.75(0) + b -4 = b so your equation is : y = -0.75x + (-4)
