Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,−8) and has a slope of 4.y-__=(x-__)

Answer 1

Answer:

y+8=4(x-2)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is given as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Given that:

• Slope, m =4

,

• The point is (2, -8).

The equation of the line will be:

$\begin{gathered} y-(-8)=4(x-2) \\ y+8=4(x-2) \end{gathered}$
