Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(8, 3); m = 6

Question 5 options:

y - 3 = 6(x - 8)

y + 3 = 6(x - 8)

y + 3 = 6x + 8

y - 3 = 6(x + 8)

Answer 1

Answer is y - 3 = 6 (x - 8) .

Answer 2

y - 3 = 6(x - 8)

Explanation:

The slope of a line which is the changes of the line along the Y and X axes through a point is given as m where

m = (y - y₁)/(x - x₁) where y ₁ and x₁ are the given points the line passes through.

Given that m = 6, (x₁,y₁) = (8,3)

Then,

6 = (y - 3)/(x - 8)

6(x - 8) = y - 3

Hence the right option is y - 3 = 6(x - 8)
