Question

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y - 4 = (x – 8). What
is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?
O y = 1 x - 12
O y = -x-4
O y=+*+2
O y=x+6

Answer 1

Answer: y = x/4 + 2

Y equals one fourth x plus two.

Step-by-step explanation:

There seems to be a typo on answer choice c.

Slope intercept form is y= mx + b

m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is given here in the coordinate (0,2) It is +2

Slope is rise/run.

Rise: Difference in given y-values is 4-2 = 2.

Run: Difference in x-values is 8-0=8.

So the slope is 2/8 = 1/4

The equation is y = 1/4 x + 2
