Question

Write an equation in the point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (-8,3) and the slope of 1/4

Answer 1

B. y - 3 = 1/4(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point slope form is expressed as;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point

Given

(x0, y0) = (-8, 3)

m = 1/4

Substitute into the formula;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

y - 3 = 1/4(x-(-8))

y - 3 = 1/4(x+8)

This gives the required equation,=. Option B is correct.
