Question

Write in point-slope form: slope =8 and goes through point (8,-1)

Answer 1

Given the information in the question, we want to write the equation of the line in the point slope form.

Mathematically, the point-slope form of the line can be represented as follows;

`y-y_{1\text{ }}=m(x-x_1)`

Where m represents the slope and the point (x1,y1) represents the given coordinates

From the question, x1 = 8 and y1 = -1

Substituting these into the equation above, we have;

y-(-1) = 8 ( x -8)

y + 1 = 8(x - 8)

So the equation of the line in the point-slope form is y + 1 = 8(x - 8)
