Question

Write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form

Answer 1

17.

The point-slope form:

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

We have slope=m=8, and the point (-5, -3). Substitute:

`y-(-3)=8(x-(-5))\\\\\boxed{y+3=8(x+5)}`

18.

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (3, 4) and (15, 10). Substitute:

`m=(10-4)/(15-3)=(6)/(12)=(1)/(2)`

The point-slope form:

`\boxed{y-4=(1)/(2)(x-3)}`

or

`\boxed{y-10=(1)/(2)(x-15)}`
