Q. A line with a slope of 8 passes through the point (−8,2). 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.The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by the formula y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Substitute Slope and Point: Substitute the given slope and point into the point-slope form.We are given the slope m=8 and the point (−8,2). Substituting these values into the point-slope form, we get y−2=8(x−(−8)).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.Simplify the equation by distributing the slope and combining like terms if necessary. In this case, we need to simplify the expression x−(−8) to x+8. The equation becomes y−2=8(x+8).
