Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(8, 3); m = 6

a. y + 3 = 6(x - 8)
b. y - 3 = 6(x - 8)
c. y - 3 = 6(x + 8)
d. y + 3 = 6x + 8

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(-10, -6); m = -5/8

a. y - 6 = -5/8(x - 10)
b. y - 6 = -5/8(x + 10)
c. y + 6 = -5/8(x + 10)
d. y + 6 = -5/8(x + 6)

Respuesta :

Q1: b. y - 3 = 6(x - 8)

Q2: c. y + 6 = -5/8(x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (8, 3); m = 6

Point slope form is given by:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Here m is slope and (x1,y1) are coordinates of given point

Putting the values

[tex]y-3=6(x-8)[/tex]

Hence the correct answer is: b. y - 3 = 6(x - 8)

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.  (-10, -6); m = -5/8

Point slope form is given by:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Here m is slope and (x1,y1) are coordinates of given point

Putting the values

[tex]y-(-6)=\frac{-5}{8}(x-(-10)\\y+6=\frac{-5}{8}(x+10)[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is: c. y + 6 = -5/8(x + 10)
