Write an equation in​ point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m.

(-8,1) m=4

1 answer

The point-slope form of the equation is given by y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is the given point and m is the given slope.

Plugging in the values (-8, 1) for (x₁, y₁) and 4 for m, the equation becomes:

y - 1 = 4(x - (-8))

Simplifying further:

y - 1 = 4(x + 8)

Therefore, the equation in point-slope form is:

y - 1 = 4x + 32
