Question

Find a point-slope equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point. M=

8
(4,5)
What is an equation of the line?
In the equation below, type the slope and the coordinates of the point in the appropriate positions.
y-0-0(x-0)
(Simplify your answer. If negative numbers occur in your answer, enclose them in parentheses.)

y - 5 = 8/9 (x - 4)

Step by step

M = 8/9
Points (4, 5)

Point slope form y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Fill in m, y1 and x1

y - 5 = 8/9 (x - 4)


To solve, Distribute

y - 5 = 8/9x - 32/9
Add 5 to both sides to solve for y

y -5 +5 = 8/9x -32/9 +5

y = 8/9x + 1 4/9
