Question

Write the equation in point slope form. The slope is 3/4; the x-intercept is 8.

Answer 1

Given:

slope = 3/4

X intercept ( 8,0)

Required:

Equation of the line in point-slope form

Solution:

The point slope form of the line is

$\begin{gathered} y-y_1=,(x-x_1) \\ \text{where:} \\ x_1\&y_1\text{ are the coordinates of the point} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \end{gathered}$

slope = 3/4

X intercept ( 8,0)

$\begin{gathered} y-y_1=,(x-x_1) \\ y-0=\frac{3}{4}(x-8) \\ y=\frac{3}{4}(x-8) \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{4}(x-8)$
