Write in point-slope form an equation of the line that lasses through the given point and had the given slope

(4,8); m=3/4

Can someone help me step by step, please?

Point slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Plug in the values
x1 = 4, y1 = 8, m = 3/4
Solution: y - 8 = 3/4(x - 4)

Hello! The formula for the point-slope form is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Since you were given the ordered pair (4, 8) where x = 4 and y = 8, and a slope value of m = 3/4, then:

Let x1 = 4
y1 = 8
m = 3/4

Then, you can plug the values in the point-slope formula:

y - 8 = 3/4(x - 4).

Hope this helps :)
