Question

Find the equation of the line with slope = 8 and passing through (5,7). Write your equation in point-slope AND slope-intercept forms.

Answer 1

slope m = 8, through (5, 7)

 

Point Slope:  y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

                  y - 7 = 8(x - 5)

 

Slope Intercept:

y - 7= 8x - 40

y = 8x - 33
