Question

Which equation shows how (-10,8) can be used to write the equation of this line in point-slope from?

Answer 1

BAnswer:

Explanation:

Turtle

Answer 2

Options :

y – 8 = –0.15(x – 10)

y + 8 = –0.15(x – 10)

y – 8 = –0.2(x + 10)

y + 8 = –0.2(x – 10)

Answer:

y – 8 = –0.2(x + 10)

Explanation:

(-10, 8)

General equation in point - slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope

Given the points : ( - 10, 8)

x1= - 10 ; y1 = 8

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitute the values of x and y into the equation :

y - 8 = m(x - - 10)

y - 8 = m(x + 10)

The best option which fits is :

y – 8 = –0.2(x + 10)
