Question

A line with slope of -1/10 passes thorugh the point (1,8). What is its equation in point slope form?

Answer 1

Hello:

note :

The equation of a linear function in point-slope form is y – y1 = m(x – x1)

The point is A (x1 , y1)

in this exercice : m = - 1/10 and x1 = 1 y1 = 8

the equation in point slope form is : y – 8 = (-1/10)(x – 1)

Answer 2

ABOUT POINT SLOPE FORM:

• y - Y1 = m(x - X1)
• m represents the slope
• Y1 & X1 is a point
• The form allows you to identify the slope & the point on the line

y - Y1 = m(x - X1)

y - 8 = -1/10(x - 1) -- IN POINT SLOPE FORM

Hope this helps you!!! :)
