Question

PLZ HELP!!

write an equation in pointslope form for the line through the given point through the given line (8, -3);m= -1/4

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = -
`(1)/(4)` and (a, b ) = (8, - 3 ), then

y - (- 3) = -
`(1)/(4)`(x - 8) , that is

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