Question

Enter an equation in point-slope form for the line.Slope is -8 and (1,4) is on the line.The equation of the line in point slope form is:

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 4 = -8 ( x - 1)

Explanations:

The point slope form of the equation of a line is given as:

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Where m represents the slope of the line

(x₁, y₁) are the coordinates of the point

Slope is -8 and (1,4) is on the line

m = -8

x₁ = 1

y₁ = 4

Substituting these into the equation:

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 4 = -8 ( x - 1)
