=
A. y +1 = (x - 8)
B. y-1 =} (x – 8)
C. y-1=-{(x + 8)
D. y +1 = {(x + 8)

Answer 1

The question asks for the point-slope form equation passing through (8, 1), which is y - 1 = m(x - 8), but without the slope value, we cannot determine the correct equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking which equation in point-slope form passes through the point (8, 1). The point-slope form equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line. In this case, the coordinates of the point (8, 1) are equivalent to (x1, y1), thus plugging into the point-slope form gives us the equation:

y - 1 = m(x - 8).

However, the slope m is not provided in the question, which makes it impossible to determine the exact equation without this information. The provided options all represent lines that pass through the point (8, 1), but without knowing the slope, we cannot choose the correct option. It's worth noting that the equal signs should not be enclosed in curly braces as this might be a typo in the question.
