the point slope form is (4,0),m=4

Explanation:

Point slope form is written as (a,b),m=slope
where a and b are the x and y co-ordinates of any point on the line

To find the slope use of a line (m) from two points (x1,y1)and (x2,y2), use the slope formula

m=y1y2x1x2

Substituting in the values from the question

m=0846

m=82 or 4

the point slope form is (4,0),m=4
