Question

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

Answer 1

point-slope equation

y - 8 = 3(x - 6)

hope it helps

Answer 2

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

Explanation:

We have given slope of a line (m) = 3.

According to the question, we need to find a point-slope equation of the line using the given labelled point (x1,y1) = (6,8).

We know point slope form,

`{y-y_1} = m{(x-x_1)}`, Where (x1,Y1) are given coordinate of the point and m is the slope.

Then, substitting the value of (x1,y1) = (6,8) and (m) = 3 in the above point-slope form of equation of the line
`{y-y_1} = m{(x-x_1)}`.

We get the point slope form of equation of the line:

`{y-8} = 3{(x-6)}`.
