Question

Write the equation in point slope form. The slope is 3/4; the x-intercept is 8.

Answer 1

Given:

slope = 3/4

X intercept ( 8,0)

Required:

Equation of the line in point-slope form

Solution:

The point slope form of the line is

`\begin{gathered} y-y_1=,(x-x_1) \\ \text{where:} \\ x_1\&y_1\text{ are the coordinates of the point} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \end{gathered}`

slope = 3/4

X intercept ( 8,0)

`\begin{gathered} y-y_1=,(x-x_1) \\ y-0=(3)/(4)(x-8) \\ y=(3)/(4)(x-8) \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`y=(3)/(4)(x-8)`
