Question

What is this equation in point-slope form?

Answer 1

y - 2 =
`(1)/(2)`(x + 8)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

here m =
`(1)/(2)` and (a, b) = (- 8, 2), hence

y - 2 =
`(1)/(2)`(x + 8) ← in point- slope form
