Question

How do you find the point-slope form of the equation of the line passing through the Point: (–8, 3); Slope: 6?

Answer 1

The main formula of a line is;
`y=ax+b`

We should use one point to find the real equation. If we use (-8,3) point;
`y= ax+b => 3=-8a+b`;
a is the slope of the equation, we found that as `6`;
`3=(-8*6) + b => 3=-48 +b => b=51`;
So the equation of the line will be;
`y=ax+b => ul (y= 6x+51)`
