Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8, 6) and has a slope
of 1/4

Answer 1

Answer: explanation

Explanation:

The equation of the line will be y=Ax+B where we have to identify the constants A and B. Since the slope will be 1/4 we must have A=1/4. Since we need the line to pass through the point (-8,6) we have 6=(1/4)(-8)+B which is the same as 6=-2+B or B=8. Thus, y=(1/4)x+8.
