Question

Find a point-slope form for the line that satisfies the stated conditions. Slope 3, passing through (-8,4)

A) y - 4 = 3(x + 8)
B) y = 3x + 4
C) y - 4 = 3(x - 8)
D) y = 3x - 4

Answer 1

The point-slope form of the line passing through (-8, 4) with a slope of 3 is y - 4 = 3(x + 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) are the coordinates of a point on the line.

In this case, the slope is 3 and the line passes through the point (-8, 4). Substituting these values into the point-slope form equation, we get y - 4 = 3(x + 8).

Therefore, the correct answer is A) y - 4 = 3(x + 8).
