Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given Slope=8, passing through (4,-1)?

Answer 1

The point-slope equation of the line is `y+1=8(x-4)`

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is

`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)`

Where

`m=` slope, and the point is `(x_1,y_1)`

`m=8`
`x_1=4`
`y_1=-1`

`y - (-1) = 8(x - 4)`

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