Question

The slope of the line below is 3. Use the coordinates of the labeled point to find the point-slope equation of the line. (6,8)

Answer 1

y – 8 = 3(x – 6) is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:
`(y-8)=3(x-6)`

Explanation:

The point-slope equation of a line with slope m and passing through point (a,b) is given by :-

`(y-b)=m(x-a)`

Given: The slope of the given line = 3

The point from which it passing = (6,8)

Now, the point-slope equation of a line with slope m=3 and passing through point (6,8) is given by :-

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