Question

What is the point and slope of the line represented by the equation below?

y + 6 = 8(x-1)

A. slope=8; point=(-1,6)



B. slope=8; point=(1,-6)



C. slope=8; point=(-6,1)



D. slope=8; point=(6,-1)

Answer 1

B. slope=8; point=(1,-6)

Explanation:

y+6=8(x-1)

*simplify*

y+6=8(x-1)

y+6=8x-8

y=8x-14

slope = 8

point = (1, -6)
