Q. A line with a slope of 61 passes through the point (8,−4). What is its equation in point-slope form?Use the specified point in your equation. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions. Simplify all fractions.y−_____=_____(x−_____)
Identify Point-Slope Form: Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.Point-slope form: y−y1=m(x−x1)
Substitute Values: We have:Point: (8,−4)Slope: 61What is the point-slope form of the line?Substitute 61 for m, 8 for x1, and −4 for y1 in the point-slope form.y−(−4)=(61)(x−8)
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by removing the parentheses around −4.y+4=61(x−8)This is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
